Well, I'm no longer in the pro market but I used to be for years. I use Scribus to do printed work, and also the designs for web pages. The pace at which the project is moving points to it being a tool as powerful as InDesign soon, within the next year. I've used PageMaker and then InDesign 1.0 through CS since about 1988 to a few months ago. The only thing I miss in Scribus is the lack of Gaussian blur shadows, but I do have faith that it is coming. The 1.3cvs version has drop shadows for text now, so blurring and elongating the drops shouldn't be that difficult in code. I do believe in Europe their is lots of traction already for many types of pro jobs, but not the slick magazine types. Others here on the list will likely give you a feel for the European market. I'm Northern California, USA. Regards, frank gaude' (aka tanzen) at web site http://yantrayoga.typepad.com/noname or subscribe to Email list at NoNameDesigns-subscribe at yahoogroups.com
