I've done all my scientific conference posters in Scribus for more then 4
years now. I've yet to run into any quirks as far as poster preparation is
concerned. Poster preparation is probably one of the simplest use cases for
Scribus, so I'd be really surprised if you would really run into any problems.
By the way, printing these posters is easy as all print shops can print the
excellent PDFs Scribus produces.
