I don't think I've done a doc longer than 58 pages in scribus, but
it's 
been fine for me under XP.

I can only speak for myself, but it's much more stable for me than 
Pagemaker 6.52 and
 InDesign 1.5 were doing similar work, and I don't 
think it's much slower.

I find it very usable, pretty robust, and acceptable fast, more stable 
than Pagemake in particular, and significantly more ergonomic than 
InDesign, though granted there is room for improvement, at least in 
1.3.3.x !

Looking forward to 1.3.5...

It may well be a matter of perspective, but I'm very happy !


Cheers, J/.

I am completely new to Desktop Publishing, so I know little about
PageMaker and nothing at all about other alternatives. I am just
learning Scribus, and without any experience at all with alternative
packages, it IS a steep learning curve. Nevertheless, I so far, I have
not found it to be particularly unstable, and the bugs have not been
enough of a problem to stop me from working with it. Of course, I am so
new to it that I often don't know whether a problem is because of a bug
or my lack of
 knowledge/experience.  

I am using 1.3.3.12 on Kubuntu 8.04, "Hardy Heron".
