There are some people trying to recreate the Wordstar experience, like this one, and they supposedly were great and simple for writing long-form content (it was before my time, so I have no experience with it). Source: 10 months ago
WordGrinder. It's great for distraction-free writing, and can output Markdown or troff. It's a great tool for getting words down, but its otherwise pretty limited (which I think is one of its strengths). When I need to print or generate a PDF, I have a little script. Source: 12 months ago
For word processing there's WordGrinder, which is in the repos for many distros (in Fedora: dnf install wordgrinder).
