TBH the shitty article tricked me to think that Stross uses Word (or from now Libreoffice) all alone. I do not know Scrivener, it could be a really good product and it seems that it works well for him for dealing with editors who are only willing to use .doc files. Although I missed the point I still have a point. And that's is that the author and the editors shouldn't mess with formatted documents since it only makes change tracking significantly more complicated compared to plain text files or markdown files. Of course you have to bump into editors who are willing to deal with plain text files or markdown files (I assume it's not going to happen).
