Real Switchers are to InDesign (Score 1)

InDesign is so OS X.2, while Quark is soooooo WIndows 3.1. I'm a graphic artist of more years than I'd like to count, first working with traditional tools and then with every Mac since the original. Started in desktop with a beta of Pagemaker, but used Quark almost exclusively, daily since the second version of it. Since InDesign went native, I've been a switcher, keeping a copy of Quark 4.1 in classic for quick updates to projects not worth porting over. I imagine that's what many of my breathern will do. Quark is dead by suicide. 5.0 is an insult. The company has always been a one-trick pony. Mind you, I made my living using it many years and was thankful during the early years, but Quark has spent the last how many years with no real updates to its product, and shown an active disinterest in OS X. But you know, they'd still get away with it if InDesign wasn't such a great product. It takes a transition time to get used to it, but when you bring yourself to understand that a layout program can work intuitively, without "quirks" (pun intended) you will never go back.
