I Honestly say Quark is best..
S Baskar (36 points) | Thu, 2007-06-14 08:27I'm using Quark more than 13 yrs but I like quark 3.3 is the best unbeaten in the Layout software, now also quark is best in my concern.
Those who don't like Quark please tell me honest reason for this bcs this is software where used most in Printing/Advertising/Publishing Industries..
Everything will updates as per customer needs. Don't compare to ID its different (all in one) bcs of Adobe as everything their own.
I like AI and FH both are best but freehand 8 is best.
All in one support of Prepress is Illustrator and Quark not now last two decades...
Just share your problem in quark, we can solve it

The interface alone just drives me away.. It's too ugly...
Just because a lot of people use a product more than another does not make it best.
I would rather change my profession than use Quark for a living..
Yes I agree but you can't trust if the interface good then the software also be good, its vary...
Anyhave OLD IS GOLD...

being ugly is just one of the reasons why I believe quark is breathing its last.
Al least here in Miami, Florida. There is just one book for quark in Barnes and Noble vs dozens for indesign CS3. Do a search on Quark 7 on google and you will see no one is interested in writing a book for it cause no-one will buy it..
Show me a Pod-cast or a magazine on quark like indesignSecrets.com for indesign, I've never heard of one..
Quark is DEAD and yes Quark 7 is old because its actually version 3.
Don't mistake me...
Quark will re-enter again and achieve to Industry standard version very soon...

It's not that I ever hated or even disliked Quark when I was using it. But, when I started using InDesign, I just liked it so much that there wasn't a question on which I'd use. InDesign is just so much cleaner, user friendly, and ties in with the rest of the CS so nicely. You don't have to stop to think how to do something in this other program, because they all run similarily. I mean, I don't have to make an EPS, just straight up PSD.
I dread the days when I pick up old jobs that were done with Quark.
Quark has which you said PSD option in 7.0 but little to improve...

indesign friendly
but both powerful. . . remember Quark was for printers, designed by printers FOR printers (i.e editorial layout) inDesign is 'trying' to be the cool hipster printer but inDesign still has somethings that Quark has better. . . what that is, i cannot remember since I started using Illustrator for everything and left Quark behind and am now starting to use inDesign. . .I just work faster in illustrator due to habit really.

Thats what i call it or Queerk! I switched to indesign when i was doing an 80page document with enormous stone sculpture hi res pics and it crashed midway and corrupted the document. I just couldnt stand it. that was 6. Recently had to edit an old job in Quark again and man what a pain. i never really used it extensively but the little i had with it was enough and yes i would change my prfession than use Queerk,Quirk, Qaurk!
+++ do you have xeal? +++
The analogy that I use for using InDesign vs Quark is this: When I used Quark and got layouts that were set up in Microsoft Word I cringed. Now that I have been using IDCS2 I cringe if I have to even use Quark. I cringe because i can not even fathom how to do something in Quark to achieve the same results in InDesign.
One Honest reason, why I Don't use Quark - Transparency.
Second Honest Reason - Glyphs - Typography
Third Honest reason - PSD and AI support - Why would you throw in a flat file that you have to save 5 different way when you can place a PSD and activate different layer comps right in InDesign.
if you haven't seen InDesign CS3 Take a lookat it in action.

Actually, Quark has had everything you list since version 6... not that I like the app, but it does have those features.

I guess they had to update some time after quark 4. when was quark 4 put out? Mid nineties?

interface consistency, suite integration, interchangeable skills form one Adobe app to another are just one small but very important element.
The biggest on for me though is the fact that all but one of my clients and printers use InDesign now so it's pointless using Quark.
I never liked the software, I never will, a few colleagues swear blind by it, but it's not for me and I believe it will rapidly become standardised as we transition away from offset printing and to large scale digital presses that will accept anything you throw at them.
The biggest sticking point with Quark was the fact that although a lot of the design profession moved to InDesign, the printers didn't and so it stuck around.
Now that InDesign is reaching maturity I don't think it'll be long before it does become the new Quark as the unofficial industry standard.

i started out in this business when quark was taking over from pagemaker which i hated. I agree ID is better in many ways, but having grown up with quark it did what it did well. At the time it was amazing. ID is certainly better to use now, but if it wasn't for quark paving the way indesign wouldn't have had to be so good and try so hard to gain market share. Role on when one app. will do photos, illustrations and page layout. We are almost there, but not quite yet.
Yet another Quark/ID discussion. It's all been covered here:

Anyway, ID still has much better pdf exporting than Quark does and that's just one of the reasons I'll not go back to Q.
