OK, but your beef then isn't with scribus but with linux and cross 
platform OSS.

Under windows, scribus IS trivial to download and install.

The grief comes because scribus is cross platform and some platforms are 
easier to build on than others. But whoever is building the windows 
installer is doing a great job. Installation is less trouble than the 
normal ways of installing Pagemaker, InDe or Word.
