> The lack of spell-check was pretty great in helping to focus in on writing. I will try turning that off when I write in the future, returning to the old way of running spell-check after I have gotten the thoughts down on the page.

I write everything in vim and then copy it over/generate it/whatever afterwards. I can't stand all the different spelling corrections, auto-completes, and everything else getting in the way. It's so totally distracting.

Spell check was a godsend for improving my spelling. I don't have as many errors now,but I would stop at every error,and retry the word over and over until I got it. Sometimes I wouldn't be able to figure it out and have to right click to see the suggestion, but it all worked to improve my spelling. Similar but less effective was grammar improvements.
