    SO intuitive, real-time collaboration, integrated outliner, unlimited revision tracking, access from anywhere, online and offline writing, perfectly standard (can't tell the difference from a Final Draft PDF), compatible with basically all filetypes, and my favorite thing: see full line history and all line comments in one click, next to every line.
