This is one of the few questions I get asked I can answer unreservedly. I prefer Movie Magic Screenwriter over Final Draft. I've used both.
This is not to slag Final Draft. But I've found that Movie Magic is more stable, has many more production-friendly elements to it that are easier to find, and its shortcuts just fit my style better. Also, being able to flip scripts between my office PC and my Powerbook versions with no software formatting hinks is beautiful.
One new piece of software that looks interesting is SceneWriter Pro. I've got the free download, will check it out this weekend.
There are, of course, several free/shareware formatting programs. Google will get you there quickly. I was sent Celtx, which isn't bad (although I'm not sure if they're going pro or not, the site seems different). There are a ton of templates for MS Word, like this one. Again, Google is your friend.
For outlining -- white, thin-ruled pad and colored pens. Over the weekend, I'll go more into this (hopefully with a scan), but for me, that's the organic pen-to-paper hindbrain creativity section of the process. There are programs, but I've tried most of them and found them ... excessive. They tend to layer meaning after meaning, text layer upon text layer on every beat -- while for me, the outline is where you see of your story actually works as a script.
Mileage, as always, may vary.

Interesting. Looking forward to seeing your "colored pens" at work.
I'm a Writer's Boot Camp guy so I tend to use those outlining tools, and I like notebooks. A bunch of ideas, dialogue, etc.. gets thrown into one, then on review I start to link some of the bits up.
Different strokes for different folks...
Thanks for the heads-up on Celtx (downloading it now). I've had an eye out for some kinda freebie alternative to FD for a while. I could never get the hang of Word templates.
Hey John, if I'd known you were a Movie Magic person I wouldn't have sent you the friggin' .pdf.
I love that program.
That’s right, this website is one of the top 12,000 most viewed in FUCKING PAKISTAN.
Why? Because they are the “English speaking writers” this fucked up company hires. I have also found evidence that suggests they have other writers in India and the Philippines. I know of a couple of companies that offer real English writers and I thought was one of them. Turns out they’re just a bunch of liars.
The scam is real. They are thieves who could care less about you. Maybe you’ve had a couple decent papers from them. But sleep well knowing that they will take any measure to screw you over.
That’s enough. Rant’s over. Fuck you,
Sincerely,
A VERY PISSED OFF FORMER CUSTOMER

Miserable experience.They ripped me off for $600 for a dissertation and refuse to give me my money back.”
2 THOUGHTS ON “MY REVIEW”

You are right. I have been debating with them for at least a month now, trying to get my refunds, it’s because the writer can’t even write shit or follow the prompt. Claimed to be “professional” yeah right. They also claimed that they refunded my money already by just clearing out my balance. However, the email I received from money bookers still saying I was charged on that date. They lied & keep on saying “your refunds should be in 4-6.” i waited & after 2 weeks, still nothing. I keep on checking back even though they closed my inquiry many times. I mean, I only uploaded $55 for the balance, but I didn’t use it. The money isn’t that a big deal, it’s just the writers & their service is poorly done. I cancelled the writer because 1. Passed deadline 2. The paper was off topic, completely vague, lacks development & much more. 3. way different from U.S writing style 4. Busy schedule & I just want to try how this service work. Personally, i definitely to not recommend this service.

One afternoon, 3 young people (Cuplis, Gatot, Gundul) met who were exchanging stories about the cancellation of their marriage.
Cuplis: Mot, why did you cancel the marriage, instead of being supposed to marry last month
Gatot: Yes Plis, I canceled my marriage because we are different from religion.
Well, if you are alone, why is it that, as far as I know, you are not supposed to be married two weeks ago.
Cuplis: Yes, we cancel the marriage because we are different.
Cuplis & Gatot: Uh, bald, you just don't know, if you also cancel, why? instead it should have been the last week of her marriage
Bald: Yes, Plis / Mot, we canceled marriage because my age was different.
Cuplis & Gatot: ???
