I have tried Scrivener, and I don't think I'll be able to use Scrivener.
First, can other applications read Scrivener files? I've had trouble after using Word 5, Appleworks, and Pages '08. I'm trying to avoid trouble by using open formats.
Second, Scrivener assumes that users import all their sources into their projects. I'm organizing files in Calibre instead, so I can note issues there, and I can export my sources to my Kindle. Scrivener allows users to use aliases instead of full copies, but if I have to download a new copy of a source pdf, and re-process it for better Kindle compatibility, I'd break the alias to the old now-deleted-and-replaced copy.
Third, can I learn to use Scrivener if I can't risk making mistakes? If I screw up too badly in NeoOffice, I can reload, or quit, restart, and reload. If I screw up too badly in Scrivener, and quit to reload, it saves the changes...
