I agree, Scribus does very much feel its age (in other words, a first release). In fact, on one machine I haven't been able to get it to actually put any text into a text box--nothing comes out when I create a text box and then choose the edit tool and type. It's very Quark-ish in its appearance too, from my POV. (That's not a good thing.) I actually rather like the InDesign UI... but to each its own, eh?

In summary, equaling InDesign 2 or Quark 6 is a tall order for anyone, considering the large amount of history and cash behind those two applications. The progress so far with Scribus is very much laudable and appreciated. :-)
