I've never actually had problems with Manuskript, but then I don't write anywhere near as much as I tell myself I should.
I also once paid for Scrivener, back when I still used windows regularly.
I seem to have a history of looking for an interesting piece of writing software, and then using it to write a chapter or two, then nothing more.
Another fun writing program (that goes to the other UI extreme) is FocusWriter. I actually managed four or five chapters of a story using it.
Ooh, FocusWriter is a good one. Nowadays I tend to avoid the ultra minimalist ones, but when I used Focus writer it always worked well.
I'm glad to see FocusWriter is still being updated, I used that a ton while I was in college. Great developer.
