But there are adherents that swear by it (as opposed to swearing at it). But it does work and imports IDML if that is important (and it works reasonably good).Īnd there is Scribus. It is an odd duck in how it works compared to ID, QXP or PP. I use the Pro version for a couple German clients. If you need greater functionality than the free version, the Pro paid-for version would be it. There is a free for personal use version that is a bit stripped down. And there is an upgrade path from it that is sub-$200. The electronic versions (PDF I believe) carries the redemption code in it. Currently one can get a version that is two versions back (i.e., version 2015) from a computer magazine in Germany at about a $10 cost. Happy fun world to the Windows users here that have a lot less pressure for Publisher then us Apple users 8(Ī partial quote from another post somewhere. (or could count from '85.) Back then you wouldn't think to blame Staedtler for not releasing their 1.6.3.78 beta 6B pencil. Well, what I've done all my life since stopped using traditional paper and cardboard for illustration and design and started with computers, in '91. IMO, the correct, practical, sensible, positive, constructive reaction here is to be excited with the new developments. Dear Santa, I've been a good kid, so.I want. The "give it to us now" (dunno why it reminds me to the " all your base are belong to us" from that Japanese company's game) is so funny for that, and as reminds me of kids when making the Santa's letter. Heck, they are not coding a notepad alternative, Adobe took eons (I mean, decades) to reach their today's brilliant status, these are really complex applications, of increasing complexity and market/user demands. And projects expected to be two months extend to years (and not my fault, just customers add stuff, increase complexity, or simply, needs vary, and so projects size increase. And to be brutally honest, now that I am a full time freelancer, really, sh1t happens, in every color and flavor possible, all sort of stuff. Their only sin is to be very enthusiastic (so evil ! p ) at times, making a bit too optimistic plans, but in my ten companies experience I yet to find ONE where plans go EXACTLY as expected. The ideal situation (even while a lot of us are used to use a very heterogeneous mix of tools and brands) is a suite from the same company (great advantage on working with same UI AND (biggest advantage) files full compatibility ), and that's where it is heading with the pace they CAN given the human and money resources they have. (not gonna mention Scribus, as while I finally kind of like it, as it has quite more depth than I thought, but a lot of ppl around here (not so in many other places) dislike the UI and stuff.). just be happy they are indeed working at it, plus a ton in Designer and Photo, that the suite will be complete, and meanwhile, just use Quark, InDesign, or if the project's complexity allows it, their PagePlus X9. gather the funds to contract 20 extra ninjas, graphic programmers to code 14 hours a day, they'd love some help, surely
