Bad: Have to buy whole MS Office. No Mac.
publisher is ok but your time is better invested in learning something more scalable down the road like
Adobe InDesign
Publisher probably isn't the best software out there for doing... whatever you call what Publisher does. However, it's simple and it works for me. Adobe InDesign made my head hurt. :P
Good enough for the average user like myself. It offers more flexibility than Word, and its familiar interface makes it easy to learn if you a Office user.
