>So switch away, and when Adobe lets InDesign wither

Quark's arrogant attempt to "buy" Adobe is what ticked them off 
enough to develop InDesign... Pagemaker has always been lame and 
there are errors deep in the code that destine it to always be an 
also-ran.

Adobe launched InDesign as a "Quark killer" and their pockets are 
considerably deeper than Quark's (a privately held company).  Quark 
is 3 to 5 years between revisions and by the time Quark get's to 
version 7, InDesign will be at version 5, running circles around 
Quark in many ways.  One of the greatest things that will cause 
publishers to switch is InDesign's XML data structure, which makes it 
easy to dump content to and from proprietary publishing systems as 
well as the web, and archival systems.

InDesign is here to stay... Quark is the one that is withering.
