Pen & paper is just so limiting, both in terms of speed and in terms of flexibility; editing, adding, correcting, or even showcasing anything is far easier over an electronic medium than it is over more primitive means.

That's just my take, anyway.
I write in Word and keep stats - e.g. character attributes, chapter info (and should I mention train timetables?) - in Excel.

And I use Powerpoint for drawing maps. How sad is that?
