Since 1992 I have been a QuarkXpress power user. Over the years I've tried InDesign 1.0, then 1.5, and then 2.0. It's a good program that seems to get better with each release. But I kept using Xpress everyday for all my projects. I'm extremely comfortable with it, it's reliable, and dependable. Unfortunately it was the only app that was keeping me from being 100% Mac OSX. I hated launching Classic just for it. I was desperately waiting for Quark to come into the 21st century. Then 6.0 was released. I was excited at first but then I began having doubts. I decided to learn all I could about the release before I blindly jumped into it. I made that mistake moving from 3.3 to 4.0. (which had so many bugs until 4.1 was released). And 5.0 was a waste of money (web tools? give me a break). So I did a ton of research, talked to lots of people, and read hundreds of comments, articles, and reviews on the Internet. I found out that other than being Mac OSX native there wasn't a whole lot of improvement there. But I could've overlooked that. I could even forgive Quark's arrogant attitude, bad service, and their pricey upgrades. However, the thing that really ticked me off is this software activation procedure that forces us to use the program on only one computer-period! Is that the thanks we get for supporting them all these years? We can't even put a copy on our home computer or notebook without paying for additional licenses! Now after reading this "dead on" advice from David Blatner, it only solidifies my decision. I'm afraid after nearly 14 years of loyalty, there will be no upgrade for me. I've been desperately waiting for 6.0, hoping against all odds that it would be a killer app...but it didn't come through. The contest is over. I'm making the switch to InDesign--and I don't think I will be looking back.
