Obviously I can't speak for op, but... spellcheck and copy/paste alone make paper more difficult to work with.

Basically, writing involves a lot of re-writing and revision. Electronic documents make that easier.

That's a fair point, although I'd just cross them out and write a clean version afterwards. Writing with pen is faster and easier than anything else, I have found that out. I can easily draw schemes and charts at any place, any page. It's just a lot easier than using a computer -- unless I'm using a pad and write on it.

It certainly depends on the kind of writing too. Very technical writing should benefit from a computer. Poetry... probably not as much.
