The Writers you are talking about is that novelist or journalists?
Journalists don't need to do any layout, so a plain text-editor with
suited features would suffice. Novelist could use the same with some
more features. But if you are writing non-fiction you would perhaps
need to put in equations references etc... and then you must
use a typesetting language of sorts, must you?

I didn't follow the thread on Text processor, but which 
writers are you talking about?
