I strongly disagree :-) Seriously, user needs are very different, so every user has a different priority of necessary features. I have already produced a book http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Success_stories#172_page_ECG_workbook_for_medical_students using scribus 1.2, so I think a have the authority to say, that scribus is "basically usable". I am personally ready to work around the bugs in scribus, as long as I can do what I want. For me the most important feature missing is proper text hyphenation/justification. I strongly disagree to a feature freeze that may hinder the development of a stable version with good text justification. Yours: Laszlo
