Hitch, on Scrivener, Word does not have the same structural capability.
Stuff like adding notes and tags to scenes, separate from all-document notes and tags. Word's outline capability is not nearly as visual as Scivener's, with the ability to add colors and status words to each block of text (normally scenes but you can subdivide at whatever level you prefer).
Also Scrivener allows one file to maintain resource sub-information much more easily, and separately assemble your text document, than inserting it into one Word file. Same for document snapshots, backing up your work to explore different revisions. Sure you can do that manually in Word but it is a built-in for Scrivener.
Working purely in Windows I prefer a combination of Word and OneNote, which still doesn't have the easy one-file approach of Scrivener. Scrivener for Mac is better than the other combinations I've tried in OSX (Circus Ponies Notebook, Growley Notes, and OneNote for Mac). The latest MS Office365 for Mac is weak, after all their improvements. Even that combination doesn't have the character or story hand-holding that some of your preferred applications provide.
I think you're downplaying some of Scrivener's abilities but I can understand how it isn't everyone's cup of tea.
