IDEs (like VS Code/Cursor) don’t care if you write code or prose—they’re powerful text workbenches. Git gives your manuscript “time travel”: snapshots, safe experiments via branches, and easy rollbacks. GitHub adds cloud backup + collaboration workflows that scale beyond Track Changes. Modern IDEs can bring AI inline + in-editor chat with your manuscript as context (less copy/paste, more flow). Markdown keeps drafts portable and future-proof, but you may still convert to .docx for traditional submissions. Tradeoffs: learning curve, limited WYSIWYG formatting, collaboration requires buy-in, and some AI features cost money.
