InDesign. I made the switch a few months back when I had to get CS3, and I'm diggin' it. Quark had us held hostage for too long with insanely high pricing, so I'm quite happy to give my money to Adobe instead.

Started using indesign when the switch was made from os9.
Quark really had it too easy for too long. Adobe developed and integrated other products to get what we now know as Creative Suite. Having said that it isn't perfect and you need a new machine to see it's full potential.
Also, I can't understand so called 'creatives' who STILL insist on using quark, sticking with what you know is hardly creative is it?
Indesign gets my vote.
Oh, and if you need to open quark files...

Indesign. Occasionally I have to switch back to Quark for one client. It makes me weep every time.

Had and argument about whether quark is dead or not and I don't know too many people who still use it but some guys I know say it's still the cats meow for annual reports and books. I think it's better then quark but I would love to hear others thoughts....

I'd never go back to Quark in a million years after it almost screwed up my Final Major at uni. Thank God in those days you could import a Quark file into InDesign

i use both, but if you have a choice, indesign every time.
quark is bad on so many levels, i can't even begin to tell you.

InDesign all the way, it is everything Quark should be!

Is this even a question anymore? Indesign, Quark makes me cry.
When we swapped to Indesign from Quark there was a corresponding drop in the amount of swearing at computers goingin the studio.

I think Indesign is way more flexible and logical to use, and combined with Photoshop & Illustrator they make a very effective triangle tool-set.

Both used here...but InDesign is the superior program. I only use Quark when I must (which is rare these days)
