Adobe Pagemaker or Quark xPress?

Can someone tell me please, what's the difference between the two? Or is it just a preference thing?

Thanks,
Nate

Depends on what you want to do. For basic page layout, either is fine. However, if your page layout is part of a more complete production workflow, you'll want the program that has the best support for that workflow.

Hello,

Pagemaker has long been out of development... the new program going after Quark is Adobe Indesign.

Quark has some major problems, and the support lines are long and confusing. If I was starting over, I would be looking seriously at Indesign. Quark has some major problems running in a network environment, and the company does not appear interested in repairing the software. Don't believe me? Go look at the forums at quark.com and see for yourself.
