I'm writing an essay with several citations of Homeric Greek, Linear B, Hebrew, Arabic, Ancent Italian dialects. Please, leave me the ability of changing font mid-text!

As Rayz says, you don't need to be bothered by any of this stuff in Scrivener. You can override all the formatting in Compile. Some users like to set up their text in the editor exactly as they want it to appear when exported; you can do that if you want. But if you just want to write and worry about all of the other stuff later, you can do that too. For me, it depends on the project.

Aside from the global search (no replace yet), the export has been completely revamped to use CSS-like styles to handle the formatting. Easy to understand, a doddle to use, and infinitely extensible. Very clever stuff.
I'm still not sure about having every piece of text in the same workspace though; I like to keep separate projects separate. After four novels I imagine its going to be pretty unwieldy. It's also not really geared for storing other stuff like pictures, character sheets, odd bits research etc, which is fair enough because it's being sold as a pure writing tool and nothing else.
Well worth a look, just for the fantastic export functions.

I have to agree with Timotheus here. ……
Maybe it's just that after using Scrivener for so long and so productively, I've just adjusted to its way of doing things, or maybe it's that Scrivener allows me to work the way I prefer: writing in chunks that can be easily rearranged.
……
I always worry, with Ulysses as well as Scrivener, that I'm just not using the app to its fullest, and there are probably ways to bend Ulysses to my will, or change my way of working to a more efficient and Ulysses-comporting method .……
