Hello to all! I love Scribus. I also use InDesign, Affinity suite from Serif. When I have a small job, I use Scribus for this and playing cards. I mostly use Affinity for my magazine (120 pages with lots of layers and graphics.) I only use InDesign when the printer demands it.
So, in conclusion. I use Scribus and Affinity. When I move to 100% Gnu/Linux I will use Scribus exclusively. I hope Scribus is up for the challenge at version 2. I will also be supporting the development via paid donations.
