By highlighting these user-facing improvements in Scribus 1.7.0, I don't mean to diminish the tremendous work that has been done behind the scenes, not least the years of work getting Scribus ready to move to QT6. That work is important, but what excites me so much about this latest release is the change in direction it could represent for the project: these features are not the sort that would be imagined by developers and built for their personal convenience, these features clearly represent the needs of *designers*.

Counterintuitively, this isn't a natural consequence of building software that might be used by design professionals. Take Inkscape, for example. There will be those in the project who see their work solely as creating a tool that implements the SVG specification; this is a fundamentally different point of view from that held by someone like [Martin Owens](https://www.youtube.com/@doctormo) who sees it as his job to create features that make Inkscape users happier, more productive, and to make Inkscape a tool that better suits their needs. This is where you get features like the shape builder tool, and upcoming CMYK support, both very much unnecessary if your goal for the project is a technical one, but critical tools for users who want to use the program in a professional setting where time is at a premium and output may be going to print.
