The right tool for the job is subjective. I use LiveCode for everything I

Well said.
There's a recent thread in the Ubuntu forums about the need for a
simpler writing environment than Open Office provides. OO has tons of
great features, but sometimes less is more.
The writing apps on this page have gotten a surprising amount of
traction and press, legitimizing the notion that there are opportunities
in having fewer features than we find in office suites:
