Scribus is just somewhat unintuitive. It can flow text between as many frames as you like. I'm not a professional with InDesign by any means, but used it quite a bit for the school newspaper in high school circa '04 and supported other folks using it in college and pretty much everything we did with inDesign at the time is quite possible with Scribus. It's been a few years since I really did anything with it, but the main things I remember being irritating are a UI model without dockable components and it being vastly better to input some things from the keyboard rather than trying to do them with a mouse.
