Thanks to the 100 people who've filled out the screenwriting software survey.
I was surprised how many people are using Celtx -- 25%! Who knew? I guess that's a real program, then!
Final Draft is by far the most popular program across all screenwriters -- 50% -- and particularly among emerging writers -- 65%. But among screenwriters who identified themselves as professionals, Movie Magic Screenwriter leads by 7 to 5 (Final Draft) to 3 (Celtx). The sample size is small, but I think the results are interesting. You can draw two conclusions: either MMSW is easier to use by people who write for a living, or there are a lot of answers from working TV writers who use MMSW for the sake of the production they're on.
Fascinating, Captain...

The screenwriting software I use, Logline, is not listed as an option in your survey. You should allow write-ins!
Logline is simply amazing.
