This was asked once before on this thread a long time ago... but what are some good programs to use to write? I'm looking for something minimalist. What do you all use?
I have gVim and FocusWriter right now.
Wordpad
It really dosent matter unless you're looking for something to help with organizing notes and chapters

Organizing notes most likely. What's a good way to maintain a database of texts?
>>7699429
You cant go wrong with Scrivener. There are similar programs but none I can immediately recall.

Notepad.
>>7699423
Pad and pencil.
Not to tell you how to write, but the minimalist way to first draft is pen and paper. You think differently when using a keyboard or a pen, and it’s something to consider.

I love Scrivener, but it’s hardly minimalist.
Vim.
>>7699498

Yeah, I was looking something more like this. It's not really supposed to be for word processing though
>>7699447
yWriter is the free version of Scrivener and it's just as good. At least for me.
Q10 for extreme minimalism no distractions
Scrivener for organising finalising etc
Paper and pencil for classic just as good if not better in terms of thought processes
Stop being a hipster and use Microsoft word like the rest of people on earth :^)
>>7699429
i like scrivener and microsoft onenote for this
I use notepad or pastebin

What? Why?
>>7699542
word is so expensive though...
>>7699577
Pirate it, nigger
>>7699503
It has spellcheck, what more do you need?
It's designed for huge files.
>>7699423
LaTeX
authorea.com. it's originally for academic writing so citing is god-like
sadly, only one private document is free
but latex/word support, never lose your documents, version control, and an "empty" interface like I prefer it
I use Sublime Text.
Just use Vim.
Q10 is nice, exactly what I was looking for
LaTeX
>>7699423
Dev-C++
Vim
I use a customized version of WordStar
