Re: indesign versus indesign

Hello to all!
I love Scribus. I also use InDesign, Affinity suite from Serif. When I have
a small job, I use Scribus for this and playing cards. I mostly use
Affinity for my magazine (120 pages with lots of layers and graphics.) I
only use InDesign when the printer demands it.

So, in conclusion. I use Scribus and Affinity.
When I move to 100% Gnu/Linux I will use Scribus exclusively. I hope
Scribus is up for the challenge at version 2.
I will also be supporting the development via paid donations.
