There three major software programs specifically geared toward writing fiction and non-fiction:

1) Scrivener (which I own)
2) StoryMill (on sale for $19.99)
3) Storyist (higher priced than the other two)

I mentioned in another post that Mariner Software (which owns StoryMill, Mariner Write, and other programs), is currently having a 50% off sale on some software.

Although I love and use Scrivener, I will admit that it has a lot of features that I don't use, but only because I haven't taken the time to master them.

The other two programs in the above list are (I have heard) easier to master.

I've played around with StoryMill and it's OK, but Mariner's software (much of it) hasn't been updated in a long time. StoryMill hasn't had a major update since 2011, which may be the kiss of death for software.

What are your thoughts on these three programs?
