I definitely avoid the visual editor and write my posts in HTML (using MOApp's <a href="http://createlivelove.com/applications/myblogedit/myblogedit.html" rel="nofollow">myBlogEdit</a>), then upload to WP. Admittedly, my goal was to learn HTML. That said, I also use MOApp's <a href="http://createlivelove.com/applications/mytexts/mytexts.html" rel="nofollow">myTexts</a> for all non-blog writing. It's a minimalist word processor -- no formatting, forms, tables, etc., just the ability to write text. You can do basic formatting in myTexts using Markdown, which is what I've been doing. My goal has been to (finally) get rid of Word, which I've done, and learn Markdown, which is really easy. And myTexts can convert from Markdown when you export your file. Lest anyone think this is a stealth ad for MOApp or their software, it isn't. I'm not affiliated with them other than being a happy user of their programs.

Markdown seems like a decent idea if you are the only writer on your blog. For a big company/blog network it might be too daunting a task. Great article though!
