PCGen is slow whenyou deal with the cahracter side of things. GMGen's code is actually pretty small and lightweight, and really, unless you are using a pcg on the gmgen side (which some of the plugins handle) it's generally pretty fast. GMGen is intended to provide a plugin architecture for all GM needs - both in game as well as campaign planning.
Alos, I'm trying to make gmgen prettier then pcgen ;-)

ok, GMGen's note system currently stores all the files as html. Every branch on the tree represents a directory on the file system - and the note for that branch will be an html file. I could in the future add rtf editing, as the panes in java can switch between html and rtf - but in this case I chose html, because it was a good enough format for the editor, and it can be converted via other programs to well..... anything.
Styles I'll look into, I do have at least some support for them. Two panes can't be viewed at the same time, but switchign is a snap - and if you are switchign back and forth between two, it caches them, so it becomes faster over time.
