DASEIN888 I have to agree with Trenino. I work as both a published novelist and produced screenwriter, and I've long looked for an alternative to Final Draft. I've tried both StoryMill and Montage, and constantly I am wishing features of StoryMill were integrated with Montage--and that they were a combined product.
StoryMill, of course, is an acquisition once called Avenir and so its development has a different legacy and comes from outside of Mariner's mindset.
The overall problem with both is that they constrain a very creative process and don't let a writer wiggle around within the software to find the 'sweet' spot. If StoryMill and Montage were combined, and if Montage were production-grade (as is Final Draft), then it would be a brilliant product. Nearly any writer would feel comfortable working within the product and not feel boxed in by predefined process. (Version 1.5.1)
DASEIN888 Well, I've been quite happy with Intego products, for the most part. Their UI (Virus software) can be odd and needs work, but the products have always delivered. This product makes it easier to do something, and that's good for me. I would like to know more about the product, e.g., what sort of encryption it uses and the like, but I'm fine with it and will buy it. (Version 10.4)
