So, I stumbled across this article, listing the pros and cons of free alternatives to Word, but I didn't find Scrivener in the list. I was wondering whether the ones listed are worth looking at, what do you think?
I would suggest that Scrivener was not listed as an alternative for Word because it's not a Word processor. It's more a drafting & structural tool (although some use it for the whole process but I certainly don't).
