One note that may be of particular interest on this thread is the statement "Since 2009 we’ve thrown more resources and time at development on Windows than we have macOS."
The creator of Scrivener still codes and pushes the application forward on macOS, so there is always going to be a slight delay getting equivalent features to our Windows users ...
That should keep me happy, right?They will even be including Dark Mode in their 3.0 release, which wasn’t a feature in Scrivener on macOS until version 3.1.

Really. They're giving a release time frame, vague though it is, after vociferously claiming time and again that they never commit themselves to release dates? Right.
So we can expect another six months of waiting, assuming that their fiscal year begins on January 1, and also expecting that they'll release it on the last day of Q2, not the first, if they release it at all.One note that may be of particular interest on this thread is the statement "Since 2009 we’ve thrown more resources and time at development on Windows than we have macOS."
Hahahahahahahahahaha. Sorry for scoffing, but I don't believe that for a minute. Sounds like spin to quiet the frustrated Windows users.The creator of Scrivener still codes and pushes the application forward on macOS, so there is always going to be a slight delay getting equivalent features to our Windows users ...
A slight delay? Windows users have been told parity with Mac will come with the "next paid upgrade" for more than five years. So why did Mac get Scriv 3 more than a year before Windows? Because L&L is a Mac-based company offering a Windows version only grudgingly. If more resources and time had really been thrown at Windows than Mac, then we should have seen Scriv 3 before, or at least at the same time, as Mac users.
Still not holding my breath for 2019. Still not interested in using the eternal beta.
Now I'm going to console myself with a piece of fudge and a couple of Christmas cookies before the attack dogs come out to chastise me for not being properly grateful that there's a Win Scriv at all and to shut up about being disappointed by yet another months-long delay. After all,That should keep me happy, right?They will even be including Dark Mode in their 3.0 release, which wasn’t a feature in Scrivener on macOS until version 3.1.

Being bitter about where we're at is certainly your choice, but what does it change? It doesn't make you any happier. It doesn't get the coding done any faster.
