Franz,

Ulysses III is very different from the previous versions. About the only thing they have in common is that they are plain text. Not saying that means you'll like it, but don't judge it based on your previous experience of versions I or II.

Funny thing. I tried to get the hang of Ulysses before Scrivener came
out. But didn't get it. I switched to Scrivener - but find myself using
Scrivener mainly for structuring huge projects and for keeping notes
(for 2 projects). For writing I still use LibreOffice Writer - and paste
the finished text back into the Scrivener outline/folder structure. Just
to to turn it into a scrivening which is processed in LibreOffice or
Word or (for the current project) Calibre. All on Windows.
For the next projects (which are more visual), I plan to get a Macbook
Air 13" for Scrivener and Curio - and I will give Ulysses 3 a try
again, instead of LibreOffice.

BTW: I quit the Windows RT experiment (Dell XPS 10 plus keyboard dock).
Windows RT just is not instant-on as the iPad or Android tablets. And if
I have to wait for the tablet to boot I can do so on a Windows or Mac
notebook and have the full scope of Windows or Mac OS X apps. Moreover,
the Dell plus keyboard dock is as heavy as a Macbook Air but the Dell
keyboard is not as good as the Macbook keyboard.
