Disagreed.

As a computer-based designer and an output service bureau technician I have 
a few opinions of LetraStudio that directly contradict what I've been 
hearing here. Ultimately, the best thing is always to try to talk to people 
who do the same kind of work that you do and see what they use and -- most 
importantly -- ask them what limitations they run into. Sometimes people get 
into a setup and stay there because it is comfortable, despite the more 
recent arrival of progs that could solve their problems.

Another thing to consider...
If you will be running your work on an imagesetter befoer going to press, 
check with your output service bureau or Lino operator. They deal woioth 
people everyday who use all varieties of page layout progs and can lend some 
useful advice concerning what will suit your purposes. Good relations with 
your output service bureau can be worth it's weight in gold.
