Of course, you may try newcomers like Writer and Strike, but they all need work to do to be barely competitive. Writing Shed, new app based on the same principles as Scrivener, tries to resolve the speed problems, but has other styling shortcomings, like changing to say bold lettering and back, as it will mess up your spacing, if you changed that too. And, as the number or the size of your project start to grow, like Word, it can take ages to open. Scrivener is excellent, saves all your projects in the order you wish and need, keeps chapters separate, but as with Pages, try submitting it to somebody who doesn’t support it. Apple’s Pages, like anything Apple is stylish, has a pile of templates and relatively quick in operation, but try submitting a text in it to an online publication that doesn’t operate on Apple, whether you convert the file(s) or not.
NISUS WRITER PRO FAQ PRO
Nisus Writer Pro is very popular with Mac users, it opens in a breeze and typing is never slow, unless, as in Word you open other apps or references, when it can simply crash everything, as it operates mainly using your RAM memory. Let alone the fact that it uses so much memory that if you open a few references while you are writing, your typing speed loses any connection with that term whatsoever. Or, try finding and using one of those fancy features without reading through a few pages of an even more confusing instruction manual. But then, with everything it is got built in, most of which 95 percent of the writers don’t need, unless you are a chain smoker, need to boil a fresh pot of coffee, or go get your snail mail, it will take ages to open. Like on every other platform, Microsoft Word probably dominates, and almost any editor anywhere on the planet will at least gladly accept it. Maybe at some point, but whatever platform you take into consideration, the answer wouldn’t differ much. The answer would have to involve not only personal tastes and preferences, but also elements like the computer platform, stationary or laptop, iPad/tablet, mobile phone… And, again, the answer would probably be negative again. But then, is there one out there that would have a broad appeal and, as in that Rolling Stones classic, bring “Satisfaction” to as many writers as is possible.
So right off, the answer to the question in the title is negative. Searching for a universal writing application is probably akin to searching for a universal writing style.
