I own and have tried them all....PageMaker (the Adobe desktop publishing
option) is my least favorite. Generally I use Publisher cuz I don't really
do Advanced desktop publishing stuff so I don't need all the bells and
whistles offered by Quark and PageMaker...but when I do decide to play
around with desktop publishing, I definitely see Quark as being the one that
produces the most professional looking stuff....and I know, when I talk to
any of the people who do this kind of stuff for Magazines, etc., that they
LAUGH at Publisher and they find PageMaker to be shortcoming..they all use
Quark...and I also see, in the employment ads, all the design layout type
companies request experience with Quark...some also mention PageMaker...but
I've NEVER seen one require Publisher knowledge...basically they see
Publisher as a joke.
Kinda the same way some *serious* web designers look at FrontPage LOL

And that's an amazing thing to say because Quark, in its stubbornness
(call it corporate arrogance) almost put itself out of business in its
core market, the Mac. Their hesitance to move forward with a native
product for OSX made a number of companies start moving over entirly to
Adobe offerings. So It's almost as if the MS product is suffering an even
worse bout of arrogance in its dev goals. What a shame!
