Sure QT is cross platform but its basic widgets are quite ugly in my opinion which leads to an application which appears very dated and un-intuitive. I suspect that much of this is down to the QT framework which it uses. I disagree, it's no more uphill then becoming competent with InDesign, but it really is the user interface (UI) which lets this package down. Some people complain and say, the learning curve is too hard. People rave about GIMP (photoshop alternative) and InkScape (Illustrator alternative) and the myriad opensource video editors, but it seems when it comes to layout and typesetting that there is only Scribus.Īfter having used it on and off for around two years, I finally feel I am ready to give a proper review.įeatures wise it is absolutely loaded, however it is at this time let down by its interface. I installed Scribus to ascertain what the OpenSource community was providing.

For my more professional tasks I have (and continue) to use CS6, so am very familiar with professional software. For years, I have been running Adobe software. In my house I have quite a bit of software, some good, some bad. I wish you well and hope you find a following of users. Thanks for putting in the effort you do in producing the application. There are pleant of more suitable offering around and if you are profiting from using them, the high cost won't be a hurdle. Sure, I could get picky that some of my often used and much liked facilities like vertical justification are missing but in truth, only high level publishers would need them and Scribus is - I think, not aimed at that part of the market.įor someone cash poor and time rich who wants to publish the local Church newsletter and similar, this could well bea very suitabl answer for them. 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.
