While it is a fun toy, I disagree that this is somehow better. The purpose of Lorem ipsum is to have place holder text that looks reasonably like real text, but lacking the kinds of cues that could draw you away from the design. What I see here would be obnoxiously distracting.

Your mileage may vary. But "better" this is not.

After playing a bit more with it, I do like the instantaneous Output and Format sections. If you added an actual Lorem Ipsum generator to the Text Source section, it would be pretty useful with those settings.

As far as toys go, I'm having good fun with the Whitman option. It sure gets dark when you least expect it.
