I have to say that for poster stuff where you have to control visually the layout a GUI is not that bad.So now I'm using ConTeXt for text-based projects (documents, books) and Nodebox for visual related things (posters, presentations).Best-a- ___

I am extremely happy using ConTeXt and TikZ/pgf
both for A0 posters as well as for video presentations.

Concerning posters (at least that "graphic" category of posters):

If you have to move a graphic element by hand in search of fine  
tuning (which is optical in design, helas, not computational) the  
only way in batch-processing based sw is to re-compile, many and many  
times.
Such a process can be quite slow if you have a large format with high  
res images. So you pass a considerable part of your time looking and  
the console.

This result in unfavouring fine optical tuning.

So, the problem for me is not the result but the process.

Agree in part. I like to use Scribus for graphics-intensive work but 
the file sizes can get out of sight.  But it's great for book covers.
