someone extremely smart created this

This is an amazing and incredibly mature piece of software. It reeks of geeky craftsmanship. There is no question the developer is also a user, and has extensive experience — presumably many, many years of experience — with the idiosyncratic needs of Scrivener users. The feature set is huge, but amazingly well-conceived and stable. As I have explored the app, I kept expecting to encounter trouble from the interaction of so many complex features — bugs, or at least unintended consequences and puzzling results. Nope. It seems stable and coherent so far. The feature may be numerous and complex, but they have obviously been very carefully implemented.

Its not perfect, but the imperfections are trivial: for instance, some of the graphical user interface elements are a bit quaint and amateurish. But such minor issues do not lose the app even one star.
