I wouldn't worry too much about the toolbox. Your other posts look good! Focus on good content, and add the shiny from time to time. Otherwise you risk spending time yak-shaving, that you could have spent on research and actual writing. "other people's beautiful looking posts" would also be good as plain-text-files.
I look at it more akin to this: if someone was getting up and running with dotnet on Windows, for example, and they were coding in Notepad++ (nothing wrong with that!), I might suggest VisualStudio Community, I may tell them to check out a few extensions too or point out some nifty refactoring features that are baked in. They want to 'do it right' and while there's no specific definition for that, taking a survey of the current 'state of the art' is helpful, even if they don't need to fret too much about it :)

Also, thanks for peeking at my other posts!

Clearly, the lack of tools didn't stop me :)
