I wouldn't say it was better than Inkscape for creating figures. But when creating multi-page documents with images embedded, or documents intended for print (like book covers) then Scribus is better. Inkscape won't create pdf X/1-a:2001 format required by most USA printers. I have and use TeX, Scribus, Gimp and Inkscape roughly in that order. When I need to convert files from a dvd created from film and with strange file names I have found Krita invaluable. You can fill up your toolbox with some or all of the above. They are all free. A move to some form of Linux is recommended. With each product you will need to buy one or more books to supplement the online documentation. Study some tutorials and learn as you do projects. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Book layout, typesetting and Indexing Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
