This sounds like another great talk topic. Or playground fight.
I'm not actually sure which would be more entertaining. :-P

Probably one of those things where there is no universal answer.

I used to use Acornsoft View back in the day, then WordPefect (which I 
much preferred). Bash the content in and periodically check you set 
titles etc correctly. With WYSIWYG I have noticed that I worry about the 
layout long before I've got the actual content down. Which is a bit 
counter-productive as you keep having to twiddle the layout as content 
changes; thus wasting time.

I'm doing a lot more in markdown these days. About 3 flavours of it. 
With conflicting syntax. I'm sure there's an XKCD about that....
