For me iA Writer is worth it for the simplified writing environment, and for the organizational features like the Favorites sidebar. But I don't really used the Markdown formatting very much, it doesn't fit my needs even though iA Writer can export to other formats. (I think what I need to do is learn to customize the. templates). But I think it's a great environment for fast writing in plain unformatted text. If I did not do that a lot, I would just use TextEdit in plain text mode. Which I still use for some things.
For heavy duty formatted writing I still use Word. But Word is just too much sometimes for simple writing.
I hope to soon try out the publish-to-Wordpress functionality that's built in.
I wish there were some more user customizations but it's a solid app and works beautifully with its iOS version too.
And for pre-production Marked 2 is better. Though once I have it, I may try to use iA Writer to highlight adjectives, nouns, etc. That's it.
