Great idea dan, but useless. If my printer can't get his Scitex to output 133 lpi film what good is that going to do me? I can't export it a PDF and expect him to seperate and trap that. 4/C maybe, but not spot colors, not special die line plate or foil stamps. Its the same problem if I used Deneba Canvas. Service bureau can't support, I ain't gonna run it.
I don't see any mention of long document support, pagination, H&J, optical kerning, OPI, master page features. I mean really, can it do spreads and facing pages? I don't even see Pantone mentioned.
Also keep in mind most designers are not tech heads, I'm migrating my office to InDesign and it's going to be major headaches retraining everyone. We don't have the time or resources to place bets on open source.
