Which platform do you prefer for writing articles? I always use Google docs.
 
Word for articles, Google Docs for school stuff
 
Nowadays, there are some tools that integrate with Word and Google Docs and give you those little content insights like the classic Yoast/Rank math and all that shit.

I'm very used to write straight on the WP Editor, but I cannot count the times that something has broken and the autosave functionality has not saved me. So basically I always have to remind myself that Google Docs is the way to go

The only thing I don't like is that extra HTML preformatting that Google Docs put to the text. I used to use a RPC service that cleaned it before uploading to WP (you could connect it straight to your posts admin system) but now is not working anymore :(
So, I created for my co-workers and myself a little Google Docs Script that runs any doc I create and emails me the clean HTML. Kind of neat, but some extra steps involved compared to my old RPC system.

Still open to new ideas always :)
 
Mostly in TextpPad but also sometimes direct in WordPress. Another thing I hate is when I get an article I bought in either Google Docs or Word, authors, deliver your shit in clean .txt files, how hard can it be....
 
I use notepad. I like the ease to manage it. And then copy over to Gutenberg.
 
LibreOffice Writer
Seriously, it's about as powerful as MS Word and you don't even have to a dime for it.

But if I'm operating out of a CMS, any old markdown editor will do
 
I use Google docs. It works for me.
 
Most of my content is written by my freelance writers. They use MS Word. When I edit the articles and optimize it with keywords and additional content, obviously, I also do it in MS Word.

I don't think of using any other tool since MS Word is doing the job best!
 
wordcounter.com (spam), plus tinyMCE for formatting using h2, ul and p buttons

I have some markdown based blogs, so I use obsidian app to write them.

google docs and ms word just no, like google drive and ms cloud they don't do the thing a spammer needs
