I recommend Olivetti for focused writing with Emacs. It is a simple mode but somehow it takes me back to days of writing on a typewriter. Occasionally I add a focus mode to fade out the other sentences or paragraphs. Maybe I’ve just conditioned myself because I typically only use these modes for documents that require flow over a long period of time. Emacs is excellent for the editing part of course, as is vi; plain text navigation and editing are their core values. And being in Emacs with my 100 active buffers, it super easy to combine disparate ideas, though that can mess with the flow.
