On the one hand, it makes powerful typesetting tools available to the average user. With a modicum of skill just about anyone can produce a print-ready page, and lots of people have lots of fun with their newsletters and whatnot.
On the other hand, that gives the world a whole lot of really bad design AND it makes people think that they have a print-ready document when, in reality, they have aesthetic problems like rivers or hyphen stacks or a half dozen wacky fonts competing for your attention, or serious output problems such their graphics are the wrong resolution or they don't have the proper fonts loaded. They underestimate the complexities of putting ink on paper, and they think, hey, if it looks good on my screen, then it will look good when it's printed. WRONG.
