There will always be room for niche markets. Doubtless, if MS sees a worthwhile demand for the kind of functionality you see in Scrivener, etc., and for saving to eBook formats, it will provide it in due course. I hardly think its market share in the word-processing space is under threat from Scrivener et al.
