Does anyone else jump into an editor to write emails or essays?

I find myself wanting simple, distraction-free plain text with no UI cruft for any writing more than a few sentences.

Personally I'm using either the Write Space extension for Chrome or Sublime today, but it seems like the author has the same use case, and with the added convenience of auto sync.




Yes. For one, I don't trust myself to not accidentally hit a keyboard shortcut I'm used to using on my native editor, but happens to collide with an important function in the email client. I also despise gmail's interface in general these days.
