Final Draft, or a similar product, is a practical necessity for writing
screenplays, and is very useful for stage scripts as well. I suppose it
would be possible to write a suite of styles and macros (both would be
required) for OOo to do the same thing, but Final Draft is a lot easier
to use out of the box. It also has some useful features for
post-processing the script (listing all the speeches for character X,
for example).
I've been using SO/OOo since before Sun purchased Star, and I use it all
the time, but if I ever had to write even one script, I'd get Final
Draft. (My wife has it, so I know.)
