FocusWriter is a cross-platform tool available to be easily installed on multiple GNU/Linux distributions, as well as Windows and Mac OS.
FocusWriter isn't super powerful, nor is it deeply extensible, but it's not entirely special feature-less either, with the FocusWriter website listing its features as:
- TXT, basic RTF, Docx, basic ODT file support
- Timers and alarms
- Daily goals
- Fully customizable themes
- Typewriter sound effects (optional)
- Auto-save (optional)
- Live statistics (optional)
- Spell-checking (optional)
- Multi-document support
- Sessions
- Portable mode (optional)
- Translated into over 20 languages
The program opens the editing interface in fullscreen on start. All you see on start is a blank text document and a wooden background; no menus, buttons or other interface elements that may get in your way. How do you interact with the program then? How do you exit it, load documents, or change some of the default options? All you need to do is move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen and move it back down a bit afterward.
Because, why not? We haven't had an all-out Vim/Emacs war in a while.

Automated submission via bot. Have a look at what the eds get to work with here [soylentnews.org]. I know I certainly appreciate them more when they're doing the copy creation as well as the editing.

Oh yeah, blame the bots!
Seriously, wow. Maybe you need a minimum character length on submissions.

We keep using the bots because bad subs are better than no subs when you can't be arsed to do a write-up at the moment. Makes more work for the eds but then taking such abuse is why they make 50% more than us devs.
