Their major argument against Scribus is just wrong. Scribus doesn't use 
ghostscript for generating PDFs but has it's own built in PDF lib to do this. 
It's always been the number one priority to make sure our PDF lib is 
producing high quality output so that printers shouldn't have issues with 
Scribus generated PDFs. Ghostscript on the other hand is used to generate the 
print preview and in ps/eps importing.

Errr, where did he get these. Apparently he didn't feel like opening the print 
dialog in Scribus or create a PDF from the app.
