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?

Emacs + orgmode. Quite technical, not for the faint of heart, but it is an amazing tool to keep everything in plain text. If you are not a technical person, probably this is not for you, as it requires quite the tinkering, but once configured to your workflow, it is very good.
Second place for Manuskript (source code), that is an open source scrivener-like application. I like it a lot, but I always go back to emacs, but probably someone here can appreciate it.
Similar: I use Codium with a vim input plugin and keep everything in plaintext as well. I write in markdown and use small scripts and tools like pandoc to produce epub versions that I can take with me on my phone. I use the notation features in my e-reader to do editing. All content except for a couple fonts and images are textual, making it ideal for tracking changes with git.
