And the two most dominant in the last decade or so? Movie Magic Screenwiter and Final Draft.īut as I write this article, I find it a bit odd that while marketplace is fairly replete with a score of alternatives as of the last half decade or so - FadeIn, Slugline, WriterDuet, Adobe Story, CeltX, Highland, Scrivener, etc. Why is that?
