> Writing any markup or markdown syntax in an IDE is a disaster for the creative process
MS Word or markup in an IDE are not the only options.
I used to use Lyx quite a lot. The best of both worlds in many ways.
There are text editors which give you a simple UI than an IDE without the distractions and complexity of a word processor. I find Kate quite pleasant to write in.
There are distraction free writers editors (which will often save in wordprocessor formats) that exist only because a lot of people find wordprocessors are a "disaster for the creative process".
