Scribus is one of the "best tools" and "replacing Adobe Illustrator"
!!!!!!!
This is absolutely hillarious. Sounds like overhyped FUD to me.

Take your feelings about Scribus and apply them to me only for
Cinellerra. Quite ironic that the company/group/person creating
Cinellerra is "HeroinWarrior" because you'd have to be on Heroin in
order to use that app.
I've done quite a bit of video editing lately (converted hours of home
movies to DVD format) and thought I'd give Cinellerra a try because A)
It ran on Linux and B) The screen-shots looked impressive.
It was an absolute nightmare to use. All the features are there....
only they don't really work or don't work the way they're supposed to.
Given a choice, I'd rather use a rusty spike to nail my own dick to a
burning building then have to create a video with Cinellerra.
BTW.... Just because some app like Scribus or Cinellerra says it is
"Professional Quality" on it's web-site doesn't make it so.
