But for people like me, it's not a game changing advantage that will drive me to plunk down the extra cash to buy QuarkXpress. I simply do my changes to PSD files from Photoshop anyways, even better if you're utilizing bridge. Since I do all my work in comp resolution first anyways. But I could see it being a helpful feature in desktop publishing or depending how you like to work. Interactivity? I don't know, to me it never really made sense to create that kind of stuff on a "desktop layout program", it almost feels like using a wrench to "hammer" a nail. I just use DW or Flash. I know that Quark is moving in a direction where they want to be more than a desktop publishing program. That's fine, but I was never a fan of those "all-in-one" gadgets. They usually don't do any one thing very well. But there are those few that do succeed so I guess we'll just have to wait and see. You’re right, Quark has better PSD support.

By many they obviously mean people that use or try the application, because it's fact. How is ID in anyway better at PSD support and interactivity?

Somehow I feel that this is more about getting older QuarkXpress users to upgrade and keep them from trying out InDesign.

" By, "many?" How many is "many?" What about by MOST? "The book concludes with a feature comparison table that evaluates QuarkXPress and InDesign CS 3 in terms of how well each integrates with the other Creative Suite applications." They're still quite desperate over there at Quark, aren't they? This reminds me of their ridiculous postcard campaign. “QuarkXPress is considered by many to have the best integration with Photoshop’s PSD file format of any layout tool available today. ”

By, “many?”

How many is “many?”

What about by MOST?
