Two reservations:

1) I'm leery of saving work online.

2) Vim on Mac terminal or GVIM blown up to full-screen is a free way to get the same clean visual effect, with infinitely more editing power.

Quoted for truth. I saw this (and the desktop no-distraction writers), and wondered to myself, "how exactly is this better than running Emacs full screen?"
