I suppose it depends if it has all the features you want or need, and crashes less often. For myself, Scribus 1.3.3.10 does what I need. I look forward to new features that may improve the ergonomics of use, but non essential features matter a lot less to me than the fact that Scribus has fewer severe unfixed bugs, and crashes a lot less than the InDesign 1.5 or Pagemaker 6.52 releases that we have used in the past ! For us, Scribus 1.3.3.9 amounted to an upgrade !
