And in terms of data streams (Multi)Markdown is very much like that; The markup doesn't get in the way. So I use it for much of my writing.

I have read of a professional author who uses "ed" on Linux for the initial writing of all his books. He just types in paragraph after paragraph, separated by two <enter> keystrokes. For writing, this seems like an excellent choice. It goes with what my creative writing teacher in High School said: "Just let the words flow out, edit later". Not so useful for coding, especially in languages which are column oriented such as COBOL and Python. Really great for obfuscated C code, though. > > -- > Shmuel (Seymour J.)
