Concerning posters (at = least that "graphic" category of posters):

If you = have to move a graphic element by hand in search of fine tuning (which = is optical in design, helas, not computational) the only way in = batch-processing based sw is to re-compile, many and many = times.
Such a process can be quite slow if you have a large format = with high res images. So you pass a considerable part of your time = looking and the console.
This result in unfavouring fine = optical tuning.

So, the problem for me is not the = result but the = process.

So now I'm using ConTeXt for text-based projects = (documents, books)
and Nodebox for visual = related things (posters, presentations).
=
I am extremely happy using = ConTeXt and TikZ/pgf
both for A0 posters as well = as for video presentations.
