Someone made a rude ;-) comment about GIMP and scribus in re comparisons with better-known proprietary tools. I have used the former, not the latter, and in many ways it is as convenient as Photoshop. I saw a Scribus presentation at a major trade fair and was really impressed (I have used both Adobe and Quark).
i made it. and it wasnt rude. it was honest. I had extensively used corel draw, pagemaker until i could no longer afford them. The equivalent inkscape and scribus are nowhere near them in ease of use and features. Gimp is as good or better than photoshop though. Show me four color separations in scribus please. Or from gimp for that matter. Let us not be blind in our worship. There are areas where foss has a long way to go - an equivalent to dreamweaver is another thing missing. (I have run a printing press for several years, so i know what i am talking about)
