WordGrinder: Terminal-based distraction free word processor

I'm looking at my word processor window on the second monitor right now and it is not distracting.

Which word processors are distracting?

The ones that get in your way!

I think the point is that a full-screen window that's largely empty of UI means that you don't see other windows, icons, toolbars etc. that are the potential sources of distraction.

It's not that the WP is distracting. It's that the WP leaves other sources of distraction -- such as playing around with formatting, other apps and so on -- visible.

A WP with little or no onscreen UI and which runs full screen so you can't see anything but the WP is trying to minimise visual distraction.

I can aver that the UI of both Vi and Emacs are highly distracting to me, because I spend my time swearing at them trying to remember what mode I'm in, whether I'm editing text or accidentally invoking editor commands, trying to remember their ridiculous non-standard keystrokes for saving or cutting or pasting or whatever.

Because they totally fail to follow the UI guidelines introduced in the early 1980s and adopted across almost all OSes by the start of the 1990s onwards, they are extremely distracting and constantly get in my way.
