I strongly disagree :-)
Seriously, user needs are very different, so every user has a different 
priority of necessary features. I have already produced a book

http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Success_stories#172_page_ECG_workbook_for_medical_students

using scribus 1.2, so I think a have the authority to say, that scribus 
is "basically usable". I am personally ready to work around the bugs in 
scribus, as long as I can do what I want. For me the most important 
feature missing is proper text hyphenation/justification. I strongly 
disagree to a feature freeze that may hinder the development of a stable 
version with good text justification.
