My issue is that word processors mostly amount to bad typesetting tools. Your editor doesn't need configurable document margins or page numbers. Semantic styling should be visible but unobtrusive, e.g. markdown.

If I were a Mac user, I'd probably use iA Writer. Instead, I'm very happy with Sublime. I appreciate Scrivener's bells and whistles but I find I never need more than documents, folders, and headings (although I wouldn't say no to Obsidian-style wikilinks).

Yeah, I do think different uses require different editors. I write novels, and Scrivener works better for me than iA writer. I used Sublime as a code editor a decade or so ago, but never for anything more.
