We used allinonehomeschool this year and I saw huge improvement in my kids writing. The writing is mixed with the other language arts components though so it's not just writing. We used year six, and especially the assignments at the end of the year seemed to help my kids with using different types of structure in their sentences.

We used IEW last year. My son liked it well enough, but my daughter felt the same way as a pp. She said it didn't feel like her writing. I think it is good for students who need to understand how to write and aren't upset by not being able to express themselves creatively. It gives a good pattern to follow but not a lot of room for individuality.
