What tools do you use for writing? (self.writing)

Was curious to see what tools everyone uses for both writing and storage.

Personally I use Word for writing, Excel for planning and progress tracking, and a local MediaWiki server for note taking.

What about you?

Just a word processor (LibreOffice in my case). I've tried a few different programs with more story drafting tools (Scrivener, Y Writer, etc.) but found I got too lost in the extra features and spent all my time with them instead of actually writing the story. I can see how they can be very helpful, but I'm a pantser--all I really want is something to put words on.
