I totally get where you're coming from, maybe I could have worded the title differently. In contexts such as publishing scientific papers and journals, patience and attention to detail are really important.
There are however many other contexts where I would argue speed and a simple UX makes a big difference.
* Notes that need to be taken on the fly: class notes, lab notes, field observations, general notes
* Prototyping, brainstorming, ideation sessions, especially collaborative ones
* Drafting outlines
* Creating presentations on work you've already completed
* Doing schoolwork, such as assignments or lab reports
* Creating teaching material on content material you're a subject matter expert in
That's a few examples but there are plenty more. The goal isn't to rush the scientific process. The goal is to have a tool that doesn't get in your way and enables speed-of-thought writing for science. This can be helpful in many ways, especially for students, but also for scientists.
