I’ve looked at a lot of the other tools that exist and none have the polish and sheer capability of Scrivener. If you just need a place to write, other tools are great. But if you want formatting and output control, Scrivener is unparalleled. And when you’re ready to publish, you can easily produce whatever format you need with intelligent, automated exports. It’s incredible.

I will second that all day every day. Scrivener has the ability to scratch all my little writing itches like nothing else has. I’ve been using it so long I’ve still got the old version and it’s just a comfy writing blanket for me at this point.

I thought about updating to the new UI version but I think I’m beginning to understand the crotchety old timers of yore and their attachment to typewriters.
