Screen writing programs

Hi Guys,

are there any budding (or established writers) that can offer advise on Screen writing software. I have looked at Final Draft and Movie magic screenwriter. The demos are a little limiting. I was wondering if I could get an objective opinion as to the pros and cons of each product. Each product of course claims to be the best. What might your opinion be?

I think this sort of thing is always a matter of personal taste. You have to ask yourself what features you need to help you to write and then find a package that delivers. I use and recommend Final Draft. I tried quite a few screenwriting progs before settling on FD. Pros: it doesn't get in my way when I'm writing. Cons: I've occasionally encountered software bugs but generally they're quickly fixed. The latest version works fine for me.
