Each to their own.

I wholeheartedly agree with the author. I find it really hard to think deeply at a computer. Too many distractions.

The speed of writing and search isn't a problem for me. With the writing, I wish I could write faster, but deep thinking isn't fast anyway.

Search, well, 99% of what I write is never looked at again. It's all a process of working things out, committing stuff to memory.

Whenever I'm stuck, stepping away from the computer is usually the best way forward.
