So what actually is this? Reading through it, the description sounds like it's basically notepad? Why would I use this instead of notepad except for some sort of aesthetic of working in the terminal?

"WordGrinder needs the following packages installed: <...> - an OpenGL/GLFW development kit (if you want the OpenGL frontend). This is supplied with most systems."

That's one hell of a terminal based word processor. I wonder why vim doesn't have an opengl frontend? >_<

You missed the "(if you want the OpenGL frontend)" part. It’s like using gvim instead of vim.
