Online and screenwriting software

Recently, I've been looking at some new alternatives to commercial screenwriting software (Final Draft being the one I use right now).

Celtx (http://www.celtx.com/ is still not at version 1, but offers a host of features. It can be used to write screenplays and stage plays and as a management tool for the writing or production process. It also allows users to create an online account and work collaboratively; the software can be downloaded for Mac, Windows and Linux.

ScriptBuddy (http://www.scriptbuddy.com/ is web-based screenwriting software - just go to the website, log on and start writing. The "pro" version, available for about $5 per month, adds other features such as PDF output and access to an online forum to upload your script and trade reviews with other writers.
