I agree with Noel, you guys have just taken it too far. I downloaded this program around a month ago or so -- didn't use it, but I see nothing wrong with the concept.

Syllable counting: Once I have written the first verse I often count the syllables so I have some guidelines to make the 2nd/3rd verse fit the overall "beat".

Rhyming dictionary: I almost always have a internet rhyming dictionary available when I write (I tend to use this one: http://perfectrhyme.com/ ) and sometimes I will use a thesaurus.

Paint by Numbers: Have you used the software in question or are you just slamming it because it seems like the "hip" thing to do?
