“Dark Room is a full screen, distraction free, writing environment. Unlike standard word processors that focus on features, Dark Room is just about you and your text.” This looks really cool. I like that it consumes the screen to block out all the other software I use for procrastination.
Recently I switched over to using Notepad for just about all of my word-processing. With all those formatting buttons and menus in Word (even after I customize and pare down the options), the distractions were just too tempting. Too many things to fiddle with. Notepad lets me focus on generating ideas–essentially a faster version of pen and paper. I save all the tweaking, proofing, and formatting for later.
