alt Hacker NewsI'm your opposite. I use Pages for letter writing, Word for documentation, PyCharm for Python, Visual Studio for C++, VSCode for Javascript, Outlook for email, vi for bash and config files, SublimeText for markdown and html, OneNote for todos and project planning, Obsidian for my work log and outlines, the Notes app for on-the-go capture, etc...
This is the way.
For a community that prides itself on "one small tool for a specific purpose," people sure like to use VIM for a thousand different purposes by hacking plugins. This used to be derided as the microsoft way decades ago.
For writing prose, I use an app specifically designed for writing prose: Scrivener. See elsewhere saying "you should change how you write in order to use version control when writing prose." Totally forgetting that there's been a version control for prose for literal decades: tracking changes in a word processor.
Do you want to process words? Use a word processor. Not a text editor. Writing prose isn't editing text.
