I beg to differ. People equate good writing with the cosmetics, which AI excels at, but it’s the substance that truly matters.

Its UI is too complicated for my taste. Besides, its screenplay support isn't perfect.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking here. If it's some advanced feature, which is obviously out of my domain of expertise, you are welcome to participate and fork the project to implement it yourself.
