Personally, I think Scribus is more ready for professional use than Gimp. It's just that its workflow is very very different from InDesign, and it's a little less suited to artistic layouts. I can't imagine anyone who'd really want to use MS Publisher instead, though, even if ID is arguably better. Maybe Publisher has improved a lot since I last used it, though.
Also, I keep getting more and more impressed with Darktable.
- joe_the_user 13y agoOK, what version? I've used Scribus 1.3 fairly extensively and it was one of the worst program I've ever had the displeasure of wrangling with. I see they're only up to 1.4.1 and I'm doubtful that much change could have made. For example, have they reworked the bizarro auto-page-number editting system? Does undo work (it failed 80% of the time when I've used it).
- Glyptodon 13y agoWell, I'm on 1.4.x, but I've used versions of it for a while. I don't think page numbers are hard. You just insert a page number on a master page and it they number correctly on all the rest of your pages. I've never had a problem, even if it's frequently easier to use the keyboard than the mouse for things. Undo works, but you might want to up the number of steps it saves as undo-able. The default is 20, and you can waste a lot of buffer with minor tweaks.
