:)

That's your mantra not mine. I have a need. I find scribus the best tool 
to meet that need. Please don't keep telling me to use a worse tool just 
because you have it in your head that when you designed scribus you 
didn't have my use in mind.

As I've said, regardless of how you think I should use it, I do enter 
text directly to scribus and it's great.

I have absolutely no desire to use an external editor for the initial 
drafting though should I ever wish to do so I have OO, word etc available.

:)  Well aren't links to Gimp implemented or planned ?  Not that I've 
ever felt the urge to use it.

But there is already external use of ghostscript. Should we remove
this too ?

Presumably that's exactly the idea ?  I've certainly nothing against it, 
though as I say, it's not a feature I've felt driven to investigate.
