I have only had a quick look at it but it is a desktop
publishing program like the old pagemaker.  As far as
I could see it was designed to take existing text and
images and produce a nice output.  It seems to handle
linked frames, call-outs etc well.  

LyX and Scribus are almost completely different
animals.  One is a text processing program, the other
a page layout program.  I would hestiate to use LyX to
publish the local club newsletter and would not use
Scribus to produce a mathmatical textbook.
