> 2. After trying out a million "distraction free" writers, I am still on MS Office. It's really worth it for me. I can't stand writing in Libre, or OO, or Ohm, or Monkey (whatever it's called). Scrivener may be the only exception but I usually just port my stuff there.
Just curious: Have you tried AbiWord? Arguably it shares a lot of the good parts of its interface with MS word -- If you have I'd love to hear what you (dis)like about it (and how Word is better or just as bad). No affiliation with AbiWord - just curious.
Personally I write too little at present, but when I do write, I write in vim, either in plain text or in some variation of ReStructuredText. I very much prefer to keep writing and formatting separate, starting with an outline of headings+notes, and expanding section by section. I've never attempted anything beyond essay-length, though.
