To highlight, being a free platform, with all the advantages that this entails. Following this, the diversity of projects it allows you to carry out (one option being to save the document in PDF format, whose utility is broad). Based on my own experience, thanks to Scribus, my company has not only been able to create forms for different clients, but has also been able to make brochures to promote its products (preaching their uses and their impact on the environment...) with a halo of professionalism that has nothing to envy from a paid platform. For all those in charge of a company's marketing, they know how important it is to know how to sell the product as well as to attract and encourage customers to invest in them, and this platform is outstanding for that, as it has the entire visible spectrum (CMYK), which gives the magazine, brochure, or document in general, a freshness and originality that not only makes the products stand out but also indirectly catches the attention of customers, the visual impact is important. Another point in favor would be the number of languages it is available in, specifically 24, which, combined with being a free platform, makes it accessible to people from many corners of the world.
To appreciate about this platform is the number of tools you can use to edit the document, ranging from the most basic change of font size and images to something as professional as color separations. As well as the presence of fonts nonexistent in word processors such as layers, master pages, and text outlining. In Scribus, you can also use your own templates, ideal for beginners who want to delve into the platform but don't know how.

I really appreciate high-quality, useful open-source free software. As a free-lance wildlife photographer, the ability to access free software is critical. Adopting Scribus has allowed me to drop Adobe Creative Cloud.
Whenever I have had a question about how to do anything with the software, a quick Google search has always provided an immediate answer. A Scribus forum is available to ask questions as well.
