While I've happily used Scrivener to write books for nearly 15 years now, I suspect I'm going to eventually have to switch to writing Markdown files using some flavour of vi (currently neovim with plugins that provide syntax colourization and folding for Markdown files) and pandoc for final export. Unless Scriv's UI is stable version 4 will probably be a nope.
(I used to use vim and the Perl POD toolchain for books, before Scriv. But publishers demand Word docs for change tracking.)
