For short films and serials I've always used CeltX (which is annoying sometimes, but free). For articles and essays I tend to write in OpenOffice (predates LibreOffice I think, so mostly habit), which I've used for non-fiction for a very long time, going back to the first book I wrote ages ago.

I tried the Grammarly plugins for a while last year, and was disappointed with what it thought was poor grammar and I thought was good style. In particular it struggled with the fiction I was writing for various reasons.
Ok, that's one of the software I want to try, Scrivener. I glad to hear that you like it, and I'll look up CeltX, and see if it can be helpful to fiction writing.

Thanks.
