A variation of this post pops up here a lot. Reminds me of writers on writing forums looking for the perfect "light weight" word processor.

Problem being, everyone has one "must have" feature that they want along with the light-weight solution. And for every writer that "must have" feature is different.

When you join all the single, one-off "must haves" together you end up with Microsoft Word.

As for blogging platforms, I use wordpress.com. Paid, not free. No work at all on my end apart from writing. Haven't thought about the platform in a long while now.
