I still remember staring at a PDF export from Microsoft Word at 11 PM, watching the chapter headers float three millimeters off-center on every other page, somehow, despite the fact that I had not touched them.
I ran Vellum on a Mac-in-Cloud account for a year before I invested in a Mac Mini. I tried Atticus but it never felt right. It's Vellum all the way for me. So brilliant to use for formatting, although I use word for writing with the ProWritingAid add on there.
The one thing that's holding me back from Atticus is the inability to use my own fonts. At the beginning of my publishing journey, I decided to make my headers match the title font, and I'm irrationally sad at the thought of giving that up. (Also, I've purchased a lot of fonts over the years, and I want the ability to do what I want with them.)
One thing that makes me more or less content with Word, though, is that I always use my previous book as a template, so I don't have to go back in and re-set everything every time. š Hasn't failed me so far--here's hoping!
Yes, it's a web app. Although I'm not entirely sure if you can import your own fonts. You definitely can add a bunch of open source ones. I'll check it today.

Can atticus run on Linux? I do my writing in Word because I've got MS. I'm goiing to change to linux and do most of my writing in the browser.
It sounds like Atticus can replace scrivner as well.
