I’ve posted about it [elsewhere](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/please-help-me-choose-between-scrivener-and-ulysses/138784/27), but for me it has always been more productive to have that kind of stripped down UI, like Composition Mode gives you, but _with the seamless option for more_. Bear in mind the Scrivener project window can be reduced down to this:

Couple that with a saved Layout that is set to be your full screen default,\[1\] and now you’ve got “composition mode” that is ultimately capable of doing everything a project window _can_ do, in bits and pieces, precisely for only what you need of it. Maybe focusing on a big freeform corkboard can be just as important and productive for what you’re doing right now, as filling up a column of text. One can have just as much focus when editing, if that is what they want.

1. I haven’t tested it, but I _think_ that would also trigger when splitting the screen between software.
