The execs of the Linux Foundation have been giving public presentations from MacBooks since forever, so unfortunately unsurprising.

I tried using Scribus a couple of years back for a book layout. Importing from other documents caused constant issues with text style mappings. Sometimes the Scribus document would become corrupted and I had to revert to a previous version, which resulted in loss of non-commited work. Finally I gave up. Granted, that's just me, others may have more success using Scribus.

Does anyone here work with Scribus regularly? What's your experience?

I work with scribus regularly, pretty much always built from the latest checkout, and I have had no problems with corrupted files, no problems with color management, no problems with generating pdf's beyond the usual headache of dealing with printing services, no problems inserting text or images.

Scribus' development has slowed down a lot, though, with very few developers remaining.

Now I wonder if Adobe InDesign and/or the rest of the Adobe toolchain is lacking a spell checker… 😉
