About writing

What's the most comfortable and the best tool/software for writing?. Because I myself use Celtx, but I want to know if there's anything better.

Generally I use Word. Occasionally I back that up with Paint if I need to draw a quick floor plan of buildings, rough world maps, etc. I keep looking at Scrivener and keep delaying buying it as I'm not completely sure it will be of much help to me. I think once you've found the way you like working (I am a digital hoarder of articles, images, Wikipedia pages, etc, which have given me inspiration), you kind of end up sticking by it. One useful addition I found was to create a YouTube playlist of documentaries in which I've found useful inspiration. I can't quite be bothered to download the vids though (it eats too much hard drive space).

I use Word. It does the job. I am not familiar with other programmes.
