Version: Scribus 1.3.3.11
"stay away, if you want to remain sane"
Pros: It must be said; It's free.
Cons: Bug-ridden, crashes a lot. Many unnecessarily-long routines. Often obtuse--in even basic ways, like paragraph indentation and line spacing. Extremely limited font-color pallet (literally, DOZENS). Not for anything beyond a newsletter.
Summary: Did I say "bug-ridden and crashes a lot?" Let me repeat that. Supposedly the stable version, I'd hate to have had experienced the unstable versions. (Maybe it's just Vista, but why only--only--with this program?) I should have suspected, immediately,... read more

Version: Scribus 1.3.3.11
Pros: no good comments sir
Cons: The interface didn't load right. The whole thing looked broken. A toolbar was cut in half and one half was in the middle of the screen next to a scroll bar that did nothing. (no joke)
Summary: I'm not sure why this GUI didn't work. My experience with this software smelled like pits. read more

"Feature Rich but Lacks Polish"
Pros: Lot of features. Importing from Open Office and MS Office is excellent. Lot of control on documents.
Cons: Strips out internal links from PDFs. Requires some time to get used to.
Summary: You will need some time to be comfortable with it.Many features like PDF Bookmarks, Internal/External Links will need help from web but once you spend a day or two with it, its Awesome! read more

"Good for mar, pa, girl guides news letter printing."
Pros: Only good for mar, pa, girl guides type news letter printing. But I would rather stick with Word 6 for Windows'95(because it fast and powerful under XP).
Cons: Very, Very slow too may error and crashes on big stuff needs allot of beta testing needed.
Summary: Maybe designed for a computer with 4Gigs of memory. Best to use on XP with 1GIG memory, Vista will use a GIG of memory before you even get started, meaning more crashes or dropouts. read more
