I've been using this (where appropriate) for about a year. It's really handy, and falls back to static type sizes extremely nicely. It's easy to underestimate how powerful the viewport units are.
iA Writer for longform writing, but quick notes go into nvAlt on desktop or Simplenote on iOS, which sync together perfectly.
Alice Bartlett gave a great talk on this, based on proper user research she did at Gov.uk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUkMCQR4TpY

Not what you asked, but consider trying the Magic Trackpad (rechargable via Lightning cable). I would never game with it, but I find it much nicer than using mice for the day-to-day tasks.
Btw, invest in some rechargeable AAs (Eneloops are best) and a decent charger, and you'll never need to buy batteries again.

I've done it a couple of times. Both times the end design had significantly creeped from the initial spec/site map.
I learned from the first time, and added substantial contingency budget to the second project. I was clear with the client about the amount of unknowns, and that the more firm information I had, the more I could lower the price. Everyone ended up fairly happy on that one.
Hey Joel! Looks great!
