I'm curious what does it do that Libre Office can't do?

I always have this strong preconception about proprietary Mac apps. When a screenshot tool costs for example $30

Nisus' killer feature back in the day was that it was a word processor that supported regular expressions for find and replace, which at the time were only found in text editors for writing code. But yes, LibreOffice supports that now.
I think this is a lot more similar to Scrivener, where it’s designed to manage huge, complicated docks in multiple sections.
Sure, today, but this was originally released 11 years before OpenOffice was open sourced.
