If it ties your panties up this much, just use VI/VIM/GVIM! Matter of fact, I
do just this and save everything important as text. Saving important stuff in
other formats seems cumbersome as everybody uses something different. Can't go
wrong with ascii/text if you don't want to waste time keeping up with trends!

As for the b/g and f/g color in Abiword, I think something like changing the
colors can be restricted to the "Normal Layout" (ie. black b/g and white f/g),
while "Print Preview Layout" will revert to normal colors shown when printing
(ie. white b/g and black f/g).
