We all used to use Quark Xpress to do our design and artworking, and we thought it was the best thing in the world - so fast, so easy to use, so standard. Those days have gone. Remember those jobs where you had to use a drop shadow which immediately meant an annoying voyage into Illustrator, probably a clipping path or two, loads of extra files that somebody else would lose or rename. Ugh. What about bringing in your PSDs or properly distilling those pesky PDFs (probably after realising that your exported PDFs were unusable if you were unlucky enough to use Quark 6). The annoyances stacked up over the years and so did the price and eventually the monolithic presence of the self-proclaimed industry standard became diminished in the stead of the young buck - InDesign. I first used InDesign when it was called InDesign 2.0 and I wasn't that blown away (probably stubbornly saying something like 'well, why do I need this when I have Quark already?") but with the introduction of The Creative Suite and it's common sense based usability with it's second-to-none range of features, there really was no looking back. I have used it in every studio I have worked in since 2003 and 49th Floor use it to this day and I imagine always will unless Quark makes a surprising return to form (I still have the Quark shortcuts memorised in the design-claw part of my brain) or if some creative techno-types release an all singing, all dancing open source version.
