The irony. Again. Great advices and reminders tho.
I've been writing in VS Code / markdown (MDX), but...
(1) I generally start with notes and ideas on paper, other times in a digital file.
(2) I do the majority of writing with a keyboard, it's faster, I can get more ideas and words out without losing train of thought.
(3) I print it out and do copy-editing by hand on paper.
The mixture seems best to me, different tools for different modes.
