Concerning posters (at least that "graphic" category of posters):
If you have to move a graphic element by hand in search of fine
tuning (which is optical in design, helas, not computational) the
only way in batch-processing based sw is to re-compile, many and many
times.
Such a process can be quite slow if you have a large format with high
res images. So you pass a considerable part of your time looking and
the console.
This result in unfavouring fine optical tuning.
So, the problem for me is not the result but the process.

I have to say that for poster stuff where you have to control
visually the layout a GUI is not that bad.
So now I'm using ConTeXt for text-based projects (documents, books)
and Nodebox for visual related things (posters, presentations).
I am extremely happy using ConTeXt and TikZ/pgf
both for A0 posters as well as for video presentations.
