It seems every good option is paid, and all others are either discontinued (trelby, fountain) or filled with commercial and AI tools (Story Architect)

This is weird and discouraging, coming from the novel world where you could use a plain markdown editor and export it to epub/pdf/whatever you need. Anyone know of something better for screenwriting?

Im not familiar with screenwriting. Can you elaborate on whats involved and whats expected in a tool for scripting?

I don't know exactly which is why I'm confused, most people there say you must use a dedicated editor instead of plain text or google docs. Isn't it all just text?
