While there are plenty of missing features, I think your summary is
pretty average to be honest. Ok, its missing some printers features and
many more but for a lot of people it handles a good deal of whats
required and does it well.

Many people, including myself, have been able to move away from the
likes of ID/Quark and hence dump Windows completely just because of
Scribus.
