Both yWriter and WriteItNow 5 are messy and non-intuitive monkeys.
yWriter, due to its plethora of confusing clickable menus and old-sytle '90s-ish Windows commands, and windows that bring up other windows that bring up other choices and then duplicate other menus in other locations, etc.
WriteItNow 5 - which also has a plethora of windows-within-windows craziness, DOES, however, offer a number of interesting features. But it, too (having been ported over from the 'PC world'), has an old-style '90s-ish look with little itty-bitty buttons and indulges in the menu-craziness that yWriter shares.
Basically, these types of programs appeal to various ways the mind works when writing. None of them are bad, in my opinion. They just have different approaches to the same goal.
There must be a reason that Scrivener is the most popular program out of all the programs that are available.
However, for some people, Scrivener is overly complicated and also non-intuitive. Other people love this program. I don't love it, but I think it's a wonderful program. It's the program I go to for my writing
So, when we talk about these programs we are offering a subjective view of what works best for us.
My opinions, if there is any doubt, is stated in the paragraphs above.
Your opinions, if any member wishes to state them, can be conveniently posted below my post.
Isn't it wonderful how opinions can differ? And how no one gets mad?
That reminds me about what my Drill Sergeant once said to me: Oh, wait! I just realized this is a family-friendly site, and some of you may still be eating.
