THOSE IT WILL HELP: If you track things (characters, locations, research, notes, etc.), need section reorganization, etc., then consider Scrivener now, EVEN if it's Windows 1.9. THOSE IT WON'T HELP: If you just write with few notes and don't bother tracking things like characters, locations, research sources, etc., AND if you don't do any major section moves, just use Word. My response: It depends on what kind of writer you are. i can't say at this point.Ĭaveat: I'm relatively new to Scrivener for Windows (started with 1.9xx. maybe releasing a product most beta users say works is a better option, even if it means opening themselves up to more bugs. its been so long now that i worry l&l will never be able to live up to the hype. delay s3 and risk losing more and more business, or release a product with bugs that will no doubt foster complaints.

Idk they are in an unwinnable spot right now. maybe when they release it though, us new users will be able to provide more bug hunting. i certainly won't be switching until its finally released. unless the beta is seriously crippled as a program, we are probably at the point where bugs can be fixed post release. but because last time they announced it was a flop, they are scared that might happen again. i appreciate how difficult making a new program is, and i don't mind it taking a while to build, but at this point when i see talk of scriv3 i see comments like 'its totally fine, just use the beta it works fine aside from compiling' and that just tells me that l&l are AT the release stage already.
