No worries, Mark. We all get busy from time to time. Trelby hasn't properly kicked off, yet but I reckon in a couple years time it will be huge competition for Celtx. I've seen a lot of writers comment about how much better Trelby is. Personally, I never had a favorite. I don't have enough experience with Celtx to make a judgement. The cloud feature is great, although I really didn't use it that often. I can see why writers like yourself would like that feature.
As far as Final Draft goes, I only got it just after Christmas and I've written one short film since then so I haven't really got much experience with the software. The best thing about Final Draft is it has some really neat added features which really help along with the writing process. It allows you to make notes as you write, It's got a script summary feature which is quite handy, templates for different formats, built in smart-type system, dictionary, thesaurus, a formatting tool that tells you when your formatting is wrong and various other tools for writing. As well as that, it's quite handy for Directors as well as you can pretty much plan the entire filmaking process in Final Draft alone. So if you make your own films on the sideline, it does the trick.
I'm still learning the ropes of Final Draft, but it's definitely as good as what people make it out to be.
