Industry Choice for Script Writing Software?

My students have the choice of two installed script writing software packages: Scriptware (Windows 95 edition?) and Final Draft v. 6. I want the students use what is most popular in the industry. According to http://www.nextpix.com/v1_1/resources/software.html (accessed 17 June 2005):


Screenplay Systems is the Vertical Integration leader in the industry with their "Movie Magic" suite of products which include Screenwriting, Script Breakdown, Scheduling, and Budgeting.

However "Final Draft" is at this point considered to be the industry leader in straight screenwriting, and now includes the previously separate standalone program "3x5" which was by itself a powerful "virtual corkboard" brainstorming/mindmapping/outlining program, which has now been folded in as the "Scene Navigator" function mentioned below in the Final Draft description section.


Any comments from the reel, whoops! "real" world? While I'm at it, does anyone know of any "home made" tutorials for Final Draft?
