HOW DO YOU COMPOSE FOR STEEMIT?! - Easy to Use Tools to Author Steemit Posts?!

![GUI design cropped.png] (this bug in the Steemit editor intentionally left here to demonstrate just how badly this needs to get fixed.... thx, JP ()

IF THERE IS ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE ON STEEMIT, it is how people compose their stories for publication.

I had one of the first Apple Mac machines, and it was a pleasure to use, compared to ANY other computer of it's time.

It made me realize, there are always new tools, new concepts, new ways of going about any task, any pursuit; and the rules just change entirely, as new tools are applied. 

As another example of this, TODAY, we see DTUBE!  

(I assume I'll look back someday and remember this last week, like few others..)

There's a change coming to VLOGGING, make no mistake...   and maybe a fight with powerful entities. 

Something that can't be controlled; brings out Armies!  ;-(

For those that have used templates, and/or HTML, and MarkDown to post on Steemit:

As it exists today; what's the most efficient way to generate a post with full control of typography; and still have use of a great UI, or an excellent editing environment? 

I hope you will share your personal setup, toolset, or editing style!

I'm still new; I've spent time working with the existing steemit editors, reading a few posts on HTML templates, and still wondering, out of dozens of solutions I might want to try, what's the first to try?

I've used HTML GUIs, and they can be excellent. 

(I personally think the GMAIL editor is pretty decent, has just the right amount of typography UI features, and I'd like to see this type of GUI editor be part of the Steemit web interface.)

I'm a fan of a dozen text editors.

I am a librarian and can keep a folder of blogging templates in HTML.

And Markdown?   Never got a chance to learn it; it's kind of nerdy as I see it; NEVER standarized, somewhat new, but not obvious for noobs. Kind of a mess, is my first impression, but I never sat down and tried to use it; should I? 

Like I said, I like GUIs, so why bother with something that's routing around GUIs?

I would also mention; wading through HTML templates in a text editor, is not my idea of "user friendly". 

(So for example, my mom should be able to use it, right?)

I can do editing in HTML but I can't explain it to:

a) My friends

b) My mom and dad

c) My family members (or just about most people I know and love)

If you happen to think you know a better way than using pure HTML, or the Steemit editors, I would enjoy hearing about it!

And thanks in advance ;-)
