One of the inane things I do with Scribus is print envelopes -- I use a 
template I concocted, my Scripter Postnet generator, and it's faster 
than any other way (on Linux). Turning them into ps or pdfs, though, 
doesn't make sense.
I think there are plenty of things that people may want a quick and 
dirty printed copy from Scribus without generating the PDF.
