      Title:
      InDesign vs. Quark
      Content:
      Is it even worth having a discussion about? If so, I need some brave Quark people to stand up for their product. Needless to say, this is an Adobe user group, so the audience may be slanted. Please brave Quark souls, come and convince the InDesigners why they are using the wrong application.

    • Just to put my two cents in, I do think there is still room for debate. I have had the opportunity over my life to teach both Quark and InDesign, and for all that don't know, I was also a Quark person in the Pagemaker days. I say this begrudging, but there are some things that Quark can do better than InDesign. In the long run though, productivity and design wise InDesign trumps Quark, and I gladly trade the few sparks of creativity from the Quark people to work for the rest of my design life in InDesign. I feel Quark has really become and very specialized application and cornered itself not to be relevant to the other 99% of designers.
    • I can transition between Adobe products with the same shortcut keys...and it always takes me a minute when I do things in Quark to remember what those are. It slows down my workflow.
      The image display / loading time for InDesign seems to be much more accurate and functional than in Quark. I haven't worked in the newest version of Quark, but the version I had locked up all the time and crashed my system. That rarely happens for me in InDesign.
