On the downside, Screenwriter is less "Mac-like" than FD 8. Final Draft 8 has the "FD Exchange format" which solves the problem unfortunately Screenwriter can't export to that (though the brilliant Scrivener can). ***CAVEAT***: both FD and Screenwriter get completely confused if you import/paste anything using the SHOT element. Screenwriter is also much better at making sense of cut-and-paste or imported RTF files, which may or may not be of use to you. There's not that faint walking-on-eggshells I get with FD. The nearest comparison is the Mellel outliner. Move the outline item and the script passages associated with it move too. Screenwriter's foolishly-named "NaviDoc" is actually a very useful, very powerful outliner with total control over what is visible, what prints, and so on. Of course, Final Draft devotees may say the same thing about FD it's maybe what you're used to that counts.
Swapping fretting about formatting styles for fretting about your writing app is obviously no progress at all, and my experience is that Screenwriter is a bit less noticeable in use than Final Draft. The only point of a screenwriting app is to get out of your way. Screenwriter's strengths are, first of all, in its transparency. (Celtx and Montage are both coming along, but I'd not yet trust real live work to them. It's not without its frustrations but I find it a more robust and congenial tool than its only real rival, Final Draft.
