I honestly don't remember the price; I think it's around $45 or so, is that right? You're a Mac user, so you could get Scrivener 3, too, which sounds pretty nice.

2. the habit of saving on quitting

You mean you don't want auto-save, is that right? Yeah, that throws me on a lot of new Windows products, too, saving left/right/center when I don't really
want them to.

3. the orientation towards bundling everything together, when not everything would be Scrivener-readable.

Well...as I said, I don't know how you can find something that WILL "keep everything together," but then not, too, at the same time. Something's going to have to give somewhere, Marja. It's that, or you need to kludge something together, like Word+OneNote.

Given what I've seen you say, over the years, that should be a biggie for you, I would think.

It lists footnotes in a separately-scrolling sidebar, I don't know if there's a way to change that.

I did a quick-n-dirty skim on footnoting in it and while it's NOT as simple/easy-peasy as Word, it appears to have some nice features. I'd read up on it, were I you. I do know that you CAN integrate Scrivener with citations managers such as EndNote, so, that might suit you too, for that. (Not footnoting, but...)

I can't find a fix to the save issue yet.

I do know that you CAN set the auto-save feature to a much, much longer interval, for the "no activity" save feature. That's not everything, but...it would help.
