I like my regular old organic paper just fine, thanks. Sure, writing with ancient mechanical tools lacks modern computational technology, but that's kind of the point.
Unconnected from the rest of the world, my writing exists only as a conduit from me to the page.
If I want to refine that and digitize it, I can then hand-type it into a digital medium, which acts to reinforce in my brain what I wrote and allow me a bonus editing pass.

I'm picturing the scene in 'Saving Private Ryan' where the translator is trying to shoehorn his typewriter into his travel supplies and Tom Hanks slowly raises a pen instead. I agree with you. I have enough paper and pens to last a good while of first drafts. My typing them into digital medium works for me like it does for you.
