I suppose it rather depends what you want to use it for.

I managed to do useful work under 1.3.3.9, but it was a bit marginal. 
Still is given that there's no spelling checker.  Well for me anyway...

There were some very rough edges in 1.3.3.9 and a few things were 
hastily returned to InDesign. That hasn't happened since though. If I'd 
tried before 1.3.3.9 I might well have stuck with InDesign / Pagemaker.


Cheers, J/.
