I would also have a different kind of review since Draw has competitors  
and the competitors users aren't really considering Draw. Things like  
Visio or QuarkExpress type of users. Or users that will want to do DTP and  
preffer using the wordprocessor (Word or Writer) versus Draw because they  
are not familiar with it.

Althought I agree Scribus and others are more complete in that regard.  
Draw is really good for putting together a tabloid.
