I HTML code as I go in LJ/DW. It's a handover from Ye Olde Dayes of LJ. But when it comes to writing, I don't bother. I switch between the types of fonts as needed using CTRL-I and CTRL-B and whatever other formatting processes are required, but I don't do the code then.
Most of my stories only have bold or italics anyway, although AO3 does have a habit of putting in <span> tags an awful lot, so if they bother me too much I switch over to notepad and clear them all out, along with any font formatting...
