go ahead and pay out the ass, I'm sticking with InDesign. I always despised Quark- it became the standard just like Microsoft did- because there was no choice. Now I work with a printer who feels like me and I use InDesign only. $1045.00 dollars... i wont pay 50 bucks for that shit!

I have a lot of templates in Quark and know Quark well, so it's been hard for me to give InDesign a try.
Is there a compelling reason besides price to try InDesign? It's not like Adobe is a vestal virgin in their biz practices either.
I also think Quark gets a bad wrap as this uncaring print app monopoly when I think the truth is that they have one product and have a small team working on it (unlike Adobe) and are just slower.
The price is steep though for personal use.

yeah, the beauty of InDesign is that it grants you Illustrator functions with page layout. which I find advantageous, especially when working with typography that isn't so strict.
Plus, the page-layout function is much more intuitive and flexible.

I want to try using it, but when you are used to the fork, it can be hard to use the chop sticks...
Have you found many printers who accept InDesign files for print???

I had terrible trouble with chopsticks until Mum bought me some of them fancy articulated ones. Invented in Australia apparently.

almost all do in my experience in the US and Canada. Most printers use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in house, and have no difficulty using an Indesign file to create final output.
