Look at what these folks have achieved in six months... and the program does many things that others don't do right now. What's left? Clean up the printing, and what they can export/import. They save/import GIF, PNG, EPS, and JPG now. Soon PDF and SVG. It's still a single or double-page layout program, but just see what it can do with feathering, beveling, contouring, blending, molding with type, frames, pictures. All the things I thought at first they couldn't do in Linux because others haven't done so, but they have done it.
