I tend to favour plain text editors, because they're minimal fuss and mess and won't sneak in any weird non-ascii characters that get mangled on posting. In particular, lately, I've been all over fullscreen text editors, and have hoarded multiple ones that I switch between; they're a great, easy way to transform my writing environment, and make it fresh enough to be inviting again when it's feeling stale. \o/ (I also use this online variant sometimes. Minimalistic writing interfaces FTW!)
I've recently taken to using yWriter to organise longer pieces, although more often than not I do the actual writing elsewhere and paste it in after. I mostly only type straight into the edit window when I get inspired enough that the writing environment's appearance doesn't matter. *snicker*
(I also have multiple devices to switch around between by this point -- my old all-purpose laptop, the new preemptive replacement laptop that I partly bought to act as my new writing machine, the barebones netbook that I used to use for travel and as my main writing machine, and a full-qwerty-keypad smartphone. Note: I don't even have a sim card in the smartphone; I just use it as an electronic notebook, haha.)
...in case it wasn't obvious, yeah, I have a problem with getting bored with using the same thing to write in/on for very long. XD;
PS: If anybody's curious for software links -- everything I use is freeware -- just hit me up! :)
