WordStar: A Writer's Word Processor (1996)

I'm an writer in my spare time, my writing PC is a basic text only FreeBSD install.

I use joe or vim and put everything in git for easy transfer and backup.

For me, I need as little destruction as possible, I even find auto spell check with its red underlining completely destructive when it comes to my flow of thoughts.

You probably mean "distraction" and "distractive", right? Or perhaps that's just a pun flying by my head. :)

It's over of those typos that seems completely right when you're dealing with an unwelcome distraction.

I thought they deliberately used Destruction to emphasise their point.

I similarly like using Emacs. Window and text, simple as it gets. Thanks to some tinkering, it will spell-check and even do fancy grammar checking if and when I tell it to, but otherwise, it just leaves me be.
