Greg, great idea, you can start filling your "stupid" reasons into wiki:

BTW, there are some really nice things going on in the Scribus Wiki:

User Hap0 is in the middle of creating the ultimate guide to installing
Scribus on Windows:

User Rydel announced his willingness to write howtos on creating
brochures with Scribus:

Some users are in the middle of defining the new keyboard shortcuts for
Scribus 1.3*:

There is a "wishing well" for Scribus roadmap suggestions:

We are still waiting for the first user to describe hers/his positive
experience with a Scribus friendly print shop:
