You bet it's off topic.
But anyway, these have been my choices for years now:
* editor: BBEdit. I like the look and feel, and the features are just
what I want (most) (e.g. the multi-file search), even in the Lite
version.
* wysiwyg: a DTP package, QuarkXPress (still 3.x). I like its
simplicity and its power. The tagged text file format is pretty simple,
but very powerful, and allow me to format my text by script (= Perl),
even for whole books, in very minute detail. Word is a very crude tool
in comparison. Plus, its scriptability is very good.
