And, of course, Word itself (which has probably been until recently the overwhelming software of choice for authors, is still the standard demanded by traditional publishers, and whose 2013 version for the PC appears to have learnt some lessons from its newer rivals, as noted in another thread). OneNote is often paired with it, as a research, outline and notes resource.

BTW, Rough Draft and Jer’s Novel Writer are no longer being developed. I can’t remember whether the original post includes Storyist and WriteWayPro, which are being developed.
