The last time Adobe let their desktop publishing app slow down on development, QuarkXPress ate their lunch and they had to invent InDesign to compete again. Adobe Pagemaker used to be a serious competitor. (Of course, it also used to be Aldus Pagemaker).


That's true, but now they have no competition.

And, in some sense, InDesign is pretty much "complete" as far as what people expect in the print publishing world.

They're now slowly moving into more long-document features, etc, so it can be a replacement for much of the FrameMaker usage out there.

But, in the end, print publishing is slowly dying, so the future there is unclear, anyway.


Isn't Quark still around to compete with them?
