Screenwriting software - a recommendation?

I'm getting ready to start writing my first screenplay. I use a Mac. Can anyone recommend Mac-friendly screenwriting software? Also, when I submit my screenplay electronically to agents and producers do I need to worry about compatibility issues if they don't have the same software I wrote my script with? Thanks!

Don't know much about the Mac environment, but when you send out a copy of your script - it will/must be in the form of a .pdf (I assume you're not co-writing with someone else).

Pierre Langenegger

Final Draft software, and when you submit your script to anyone, you send them a PDF, you'll only need to send the editable file once your script is bought so at this point in your career, you won't need to worry about that.

Great, thank you so much everyone!
