InDesign

Do you think QuarkXPress delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with QuarkXPress's feature set?

Yes

Did QuarkXPress live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of QuarkXPress go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy QuarkXPress again?

Yes

If there were no such thing as InDesign, I would highly recommend QuarkXPress. However, as a contemporary designer, you are better off with InDesign since it is part of the Adobe platform. It has nothing to do with Quark's capabilities.

Using QuarkXPress

This is an industry standard. It is intuitive and pretty simple. I have been using it for 40 years and by no means do I use its potential, rather it does just what I want it to do.
