While there are plenty of missing features, I think your summary is pretty average to be honest. Ok, its missing some printers features and many more but for a lot of people it handles a good deal of whats required and does it well. Many people, including myself, have been able to move away from the likes of ID/Quark and hence dump Windows completely just because of Scribus.
