I'd like to know what writing programs you've tried and liked or disliked. I've used MS Word for ages, even after shifting over to a Mac, but I don't like where they've gone with it, so I've been running an old version that is ready for burial now. I'm not looking to bash Word or MS. I'm just moving on to something else now and would appreciate everyone's input. I know I could use Pages and that it will export to .doc. I'm trying out Scrivener, Nisus Pro, and Jers Novel Writer--or at least I've got trial versions of them to play around with. I've got Mariner Write on my radar as well. I'm sampling by writing blog posts in them, and that's just not the same as a novel. Any red flags I should be aware of? I'd be glad to hear your thoughts about what's worked for you or about special features you particularly like or dislike with these programs. Thanks!
