[scribus] indesign versus indesign

[ZASKE Martin]

Hello,

your subject line is hinting, that you either want to provide some
humour to this list (thank you) - or (hopefully not) that you made a
small mistake and wrote to the wrong address.

Scribus is free software, this includes the freedom to use indesign if
you like that better or if you really need your own preference of fluid
workflow. We would not be upset.



There is indeed a very small minority among the Scribus users, they are
friendly and harmless, and they believe that there is "no reason" for
any aspects of Scribus. There are even two users (I shall not give
names) who think that some researcher had monkeys on keyboards for some
stupid experiment about poetry - and it resulted in the first Scribus
versions. So much better than any poem.


Otherwise the "any reason" is always the choices of our beloved
developers, whom you can see on the website with their photo and their
names. They listen to our input and most of their choices are good. They
also look at this list (hello guys).


I consider myself a regular and faithful user and appreciate Scribus a
lot and I have over the years learnt about the in-page-text-frames where
I can do most of the immediate editing needed while having visual feedback.


And I also learnt about the story editor and why it is called that name.
I am still open minded about story editor and use it for work with
massive amounts of text, for importing etc.

The only aspect I do not enjoy about Story Editor is the column on the
left where I can assign styles and have a good overview of all the
styles through my stories. I have to click twice, where the first click
is totally useless as it only provides one option: to click on a
pull-down list of my styles. If any other user could help me to
understand or to get rid of the surplus click then I would like it even
more.


So why do I have more than ten hammers in my workshop? Because each
hammer is almost perfect for certain jobs, while not so great for other
jobs. I can get "the same result" on certain jobs with several of my
hammers (but would not even try with some others) and it is the same
with Scribus:

Your documents might not be very complex (or they might) but sometimes
the story editor is best to concentrate on the content, if your page is
visually very dense. And sometimes a direct edit directly in a text
frame is all that you need.
