One of the things a university education is supposed to do is to open up 
your mind, and hopefully in the case of art students, open to the idea 
that the creativity is in the mind of the student, not in the software. 
For a student to get hung-up on whether or not they're learning the 
commands for this or that other piece of software suggests they should 
have just gone to a technical school.

And if this were the case, why would you ever check back again, and why 
ever bother to leave messages suggesting that Scribus can never succeed? 
You may be talking to the wrong audience.
