THE BEST!
I totally love it. Tech support is very responsive with answers and fixes. But after using it for over two years now, I cannot figure out why there is an EDIT mode and a PREVIEW mode. MACs philosophy has always been WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get), but SLUGLINE requires you to change to PREVIEW mode to get to WYSIWYG and you CANNOT EDIT in preview mode. It seems to be counterproductive and unnecessary. Why not simply have one WYSIWYG mode that allows you to EDIT and ditch the visible before and after command codes: "*" and "**" and "***" and "/*" and "*/" etc., in EDIT mode. We dont need to see them, they are distracting, and they throw off line counts when you are especially trying to keep dialog—and action—short and punchy. Seeing these codes in your script is like trying to manually code in HTML like the "good" old days. This is one point on which the creators of Slugline seem to disagree.
One other annoyance: You can type an entire dialog and decide to UNDO. Sluglines UNDO function works ONE CHARACTER AT A TIME, so it can take forever to undo several words or lines and you have to be super careful not to go too far. I understand they are fixing this, but there hasnt been a new release in months. (Be careful about installing new releases. SAVE the old version. One time a new release had a serious problem... which they fixed fairly quickly.)
(I also cannot figure out why the app store has such tiny type and does not permit enlargement with command-plus.)
