From what I've read in the past, my impression was that Scribus was not at that level. It's nice to know it is.
I've avoided mentioning the DTP program she's using so no one would get upset, but it's Serif's Page Plus X6, which is 2 versions old. I have no idea of the power of X8. When I used Atari computers, I used Calamus, which is still available, and the equal of Quark and InDesign.
Serif was getting rid of their copies of X6, only cost me $25, and a good way to get her to try page layout software. Now she's hooked! LOL
But we now have put Scribus on the list of something to try if/when her uses evolve to wanting to do more than X6 is capable of.

Just FYI that Scribus would be roughly equivalent to QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign, perhaps leaning more strongly to Quark. Those are the more professional apps used by the printing industry (moreso than MS stuff).
Since Scribus is at that 'pro' level, it does take a bit more to learn. However it's generally considered worth the effort.
