Scrivener enables the logical sorting of content into easy locations, enabling complex story structures, character notes, and research to be easily at hand, enabling the checking of facts, previous writing and logical sequences to flow well. Whilst I do also use Final Draft for more simple scripts, Scrivener enables more complex screenplays to be written as well as a few non-fiction works I have created.

I really like the Binder... like the Folders column of Windows Explorer with custom colour coding it makes it easy to navigate and view the hierarchy as you write. Also the ability to compile to multiple ebook and print formats in a few clicks... the ones I use most are ePub, mobi (Kindle) and PDF (for CreateSpace). You can save compile settings and switch quickly between them and switch between frontmatter with different tables of contents - clickable for eBooks, page numbered for print. This means when I amend a book I generate the eBook first and upload to KDP then generate a print ready PDF for CreateSpace in a matter of a few minutes.

Scrivener allows you to break up sections of your project and rearrange them easily in a number of ways, depending on your preference. You can use the 'Binder', a bar on the left side of the screen, to move different sections while viewing the text editor. Or you can view your sections and note cards on a grid. Scrivener makes it easy for you to break split individual sections or combine separate ones. You can also create folders that show up in the Binder to categorize and sub-categorize sections, grouping them together. This allows you to work on large writing projects in a non-linear manner. Scrivener also allows you to view multiple sections of your writing projects at once. You can have two editors open at once, either side by side or above and below. It also allows you to view even more sections view pop-out reference windows. There is also a customizable bar on the right side of the screen that hold all of your foot notes, end notes, and annotations. In sum, if you have a large enough screen, you can view all aspects of your project at once --- sources, outlines, notes, end notes, foot notes, the overall text, and the individual section you're currently working on.
