In COLA there has been a discussion on how Linux helps people with workflows, specifically in how it sets an environment which lifts programs above the lowest common denominator or provides tools and incentives to help those programs rise above it.
Ronb brought up Scrivener but then he could not think of ways it did this. Someone else showed many ways Scrivener rises above the lowest common denominator on Mac OS X.

Are there ways Scrivener is somehow "special" on Linux? How about other applications? LibreOffice was also discussed and not much was said for it.
Looking for any examples of where Linux does this.

applications on Linux, then no, it is not "special."
What that might mean is that Linux is very customizable, due to being
free/open source, and so a custom workflow can be created (i.e. choosing a
different window manager/compositor, using different applications, etc).
What defines "rising above the lowest common denominator?"
