I once tried this software, but I didn't like it at all. IIRC, it's loaded with distractions that take away from the time you could've been writing, and its editor is just a pain, which is something I couldn't get over.

What I do recommend:

Q10: A simple full-screen plain text editor with different settings; I set mine up to look like this. I wrote the entirety of my first novel in this thing; I love it because it lets you focus, it blocks everything else out and lets you just write. It auto-indents every paragraph, too, which is an oft overlooked feature in many editors.

Couple this with dropbox, and you can keep all your notes and drafts organized in separate folders across multiple machines.

And of course, a word processor, such as MS Word or LibreOffice, used only after you're done writing the first or second draft.

I can faithfully say, advanced software does not make you any better or more efficient of a writer; only through reading, writing and practicing philosophy will you improve.
