What differentiates QuarkXPress from other similar products?
I love the simplicity of laying out my design projects like books, magazines etc. I've been using QuarkXpress for over 25 years now. Since most files I have built in the past were done in Quark, it makes it so much easier to just stay with that program and not switch over to InDesign... which I'm not a huge fan of.
