There are horses for courses as my father used to
say. If the job at hand requires footnotes, a
multilevel TOC, automatic widow and orphan
control, a bibliography, an index and so on I
use some form of TeX. But if the job requires
lots of illos and text blocks embedded in the
main text etc. or else a perfect book cover, then
Scribus is my choice.

Sometimes use both on the same book, Scribus for
layout and a parallel TeX file derived from the
Scribus pdf converted to text for indexing.
