It used to be Quark, but not any more....people have *flocked* to InDesign. It's much cheaper, interfaces better with other programs, and once you're over an initial hurdle, is easy to use. The most frustrating thing about the changeover was that it calls things by different names than Quark, and it was hard to look up something you didn't know the name for in help! But that didn't last long.

InDesign is SO much better in text flow. I used to spend hours fiddling with Quark files to get the text "just so" (good Virgo that I am, LOL!) -- lining up columns, getting past bad line breaks, etc. etc. - that InDesign does much better from the get-go.
