Being a software developer I have taken a brief look at building my own, based around LibreOffice as the editor. I got something very basic working under Windows using OLE - it wasn't usable for serious writing but proved to me that it should be possible to do (but in a serious attempt I'd avoid OLE and either try the API directly or perhaps write in Java). Now all I need is more hours in the day so I can have time to do my paid work, time to write this software, and still have time for writing.
