Interesting. I have very similar emotions about Scrivener and
WriteMonkey. And I probably use WorkFlowy the way you describe
Brainstorm (can also output to OPML).

But my challenge is to write focused academic prose within strict word

"staircase method" described here:

Akin to the 'Snowflake Method' for fiction? It's described here: http://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/articles/snowflake-method/
