Everyone has their own preferred workflow, and that's great. For me, writing inside WordPress just has never been a comfortable experience.

If I'm writing for the web, I'll start in MS Word (yeah, I'm one of those people). From there, I convert it to HTML in Dreamweaver (I'm one of them as well), then copy & paste code into WP.

It would probably drive some people crazy to work that way. But the point is we all have our little quirks. If something works for you, then there's no reason not to do it.

But you're right, Justin. It's also good to step out of the comfort zone sometimes. You might find a new favorite tool for writing.
