My Go to Print Layout Choice For Years

I've been using Quark for so long now that I find it hard to imagine using anything else. At a client's encouragement - and because they owned the software - I did try Scribus but for me it just did not have the same feel or great function that Quark has so after a few hours experimentation I politley delined to keep using it and went back to what I know (and achived excatly what they were looking for anyway)
Pros
Since I first used this software in college (which was more than a while ago) although it has changed and evolved in my opinion it has never stopped being the best layout creation tool there is. I've used it over the years professionally across all kinds of projects and niches and even personally to create materials for the kids' soccer teams etc. And customer service always has been truly top notch, something that is increasingly rare these days.
Cons
The newer Adobe integrations can be annoying and for my purposes not that helpful. Yes, there are days when I wish it had never happened but not to the point that I will actively go looking for something else as an alternative.

quarkXpress: like an excellent dressage horse without escapades

clean, direct, clearly and logically arranged.
clean, direct, clearly and logically arranged.
Pros
the typographic tools are precise and excellent [i can judge this as a professor of typography].
the workflows are straightforward and not overloaded with windows.
working with images is very fast: double-click on the image content and you're in photoshop. and also: copying image content and pasting it into other windows, so simple, so ingenious
the price-performance ratio is excellent.
the html interface is very good.
pantone included
Cons
I am very satisfied with quarkXpress, I have no cons to mention.

QuarkXPress: An industry Pioneer, but loses the race when compared with Adobe InDesign

Overall, not unhappy but each of my project experiences left me wanting more ... design options, layout options, integration with other software I use.
Pros
It's a page layout powerhouse and does what it is intended to do. It's fairly user friendly and easy to learn the ins and outs.
Cons
Because Quark is a stand alone software, it loses any integration options with other programs that designers use on a daily basis. For this reason alone, it's difficult to rationalize using Quark instead of InDesign, which has so many crossovers with Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat.

I've been using Quark since 1990s and have never wanted to switch to any other program. I use the software every day for my design business.
Pros
Using the extensive keyboard shortcuts saves me a lot of time. I rarely need use the drop menus.
Cons
I seem to need to clear the cache quite often to get some features working again. Example: double clicking an image to bring up the Edit Original dialog box.

Pros
No matter what the final project is, I'm able to create layouts fast and efficiently.
