It certainly does everything a basic publisher needs and does it well. I congratulate the authors of Scribus in producing an accurate, stable alternative to current expensive and complicated offerings. I can't afford the time to adapt to Gimp either so for that reason continue with the constant upgrade mess the big A find so profitable. I doubt I'll find the time to teach myself to use Scribus because of the unfamiliar way it works. Maybe by the time someone gets comfortable enough to use Scribus on a daily basis, it will work a little faster in some areas I found it wanting in. It took me 4 times as long as with software I'm familiar with. I get very angry watching someone I'm paying $45 an hour for, struggle with unfamiliar menus wiht thefew applications I use that are not MS GUI menu compliant. This is a huge help for Office temps and casual employees. THe standard Microsoft GUI may not be perfect but it does serve the purpose of having programs that comply with it, all work with the same menu structure. What I find unnerving about both gimp and Scribus is the adoption of a workin method that leaves a lot to be desired. I'm thinking that anyone who has mastered Gimp, will have no trouble eventually mastering Scribus.
