I distinguish between stuff that needs attention to its appearance and
initial drafts (most of my writing). I've self-published at least 7 books of
various kinds. I wrote all of these initially in (g)vim and then prepared
them for publication using LyX, which I find much better for this than any
ordinary word processor. Vim is ideal for cutting, pasting, spell-checking
etc and all this is best done separately from the fancy stuff.
