Scrivener Features
Comments about Scrivener as a Alternative to Manuskript
alternative1234Scrivener is probably best of breed for novel writers, but is unfortunately unavailable on Linux. (An extant earlier Linux release has spotty compatibility, and the Wine installation of the Windows version [which lags behind the Mac version] is also unsatisfactory.) Without this drawback, Scrivener would be the best alternative to Manuskript, even considering its cost.
0Jack VegasIt's very polished, stable, and worth the money. Scrivener is one of the apps I wish we had on Linux.
0It's well worth the money for what it can do.
0Scrivener is a powerhouse, a super heavyweight and worth the money.
