Scribus almost as good as MS Publisher? What are you smoking?! OK, to be fair, quality-wise there are three products at the top:Quark Xpress, MS Publisher and Scribus. However... - MS Publisher sucks when you send the file to a print shop: theydon't like it. They scoff at it. It sucks for professional jobs. Icite my print agent here. - the Postscript and colour management code in MS Publisher is sofar from the two others that, if you want reliable results, ... yousimply won't use it. Scribus allows you to manually set the colourspace of each and every element on your document, which is a MUSTfor professional printing, and has so many PDF export options(including a debugger, a MUST to ensure no transparency elementsremain on the document and that all glyphs in custom fonts areexported with it). Scribus is bare when you open it: that's NORMAL. You want to seethe documents, not the template collections MS Publisher feeds you. Next, Koffice and its document explorer: that's what Navigator inOOo is for. It used to be open by default in OOo, but MS Word usersgot so distracted by it they asked OOo to have it closed by defaultin version 2.0. Koffice didn't get the message. Font rendering in OOo: A complete rewrite happened between versions2.4 and 3.1. 3.0 had most of the code in place, but it wasdeactivated. Versions 3.1.1 and 3.2 have nicely hinted, antialiasedoutput. Database front-ends: OOo base has one very nice feature, in that itcan draw interfaces on top of external databases. While Accessallows you to create all-in-one files (forms and data in the samepackage), Base allows you to create forms that are actually Writerdocuments hitting on, say, a MySQL DB. Spreadsheet: Calc is the part that got the most work in version3.2. You may actually forget about older versions, OOo Calc 3.2 isa different app altogether. Grisbi has one nice thing going for it: it's developed incooperation with the French Ministry of Finance (through APRIL).GNU Cash is more US-based. If you're not French, Grisbi has noadvantage over GNU Cash. If you are, though, Grisbi is damn cool.
