    NOTHING! Because who can stand to read and write at the same time?!
    I think it depends on the writer and what one is trying to write.
    I think all programs have their pros and cons. I personally like Scrivner, but I know it's not for everyone. Also, no matter how fancy your writing program, it can't and shouldn't solve 'blank-page syndrome'. But it can help to motivate if the program helps you put together your ideas.

    I heard about Scrivener a long time ago but tried it just recently, and I really like it.
    Of all the programs I've ever used, it's the best one so far.

    But in general, it's hard to say which program is the best, because there are many different good ones, and for each writer that one "best" can be different. It's better to try a few and then decide which works the best.

    It sounds like you have a strong preference for Word and other familiar tools like Google Docs and LibreOffice. These platforms offer features like voice-to-text and robust navigation abilities that align well with your writing style. Additionally, the integration with other applications like OneNote and Excel provides a seamless workflow for managing related information alongside your writing. It's all about finding the tools that work best for you and leveraging their strengths to enhance your writing process.

    We have a strong preference for interaction from humans, not AI generated text

    You're not talking about "Alan" from Ukraine, are you? I know you're not talking about Alan.

    To be fair that’s a vpn he’s probably about as Ukrainian as I am

    There’s a strong chance that Alan in Ukraine and Chris in Pakistan are the same person actually in neither
