I've just discovered Scrivener!  I have always used Word.  I'm no expert at Word, but mostly I like it for writing prose.  I hate it for handling any kind of images, though.  People still try to do that, for some reason.

I'm intrigued by Scrivener's organizational focus, though.  I'm in the trial period right now, but I think I'm sold on it.  They'll have my money at the end of the trial period.

Going to have to give Scrivener a try....I'm 12 Chapters in and with a large cast and events plus my poor memory I'm floundering trying to keep organized...8P

THE_ANGRY_GAMER:
Recently, I've found Scrivener slightly lacking as a word processor - I find I'm more creative and writing is easier when I'm using word. So I just write stuff in word and copy-paste into Scrivener. Seems to be working fine, and gives me a better idea of scene length and pacing than just using Scrivener.
