What text editor (cli or gui) are you using for writing non-code?

A community discussion on Lobsters about preferred text editors for non-code writing such as notes, papers, and books. Participants share a wide range of tools including Obsidian, Neovim, Helix, Emacs (with Org mode), Vim, Typst, Typora, VS Code, and various CLI editors like Nano, Micro, and Kakoune. Common themes include Markdown-based workflows, sync solutions (Syncthing), spell-checking via LSPs, and the tradeoffs between modal editors and dedicated writing apps, especially for CJK language input.
