@buermann i do a lot of that in emacs!
but i’ve found it convenient to start first drafts in an app accessible on all my devices, then to export into emacs as markdown and go through my rounds of editing there.
i guess it’s an attempt to minimize the psychological barrier to entry of getting started. i can jot something on a phone app, rather than “sit down for a session”. my psychological barrier to opening up an emacs buffer is somehow lower for writing code than text.
