Switching to InDesign a year ago from Quark was an amazing day for me. It meant I suddenly had all kinds of extra time on my hands. It took me a couple days of happily discovering what this program had to offer and has easily shaved a conservative average of an hour a day not having to deal with Quark bugs and its clunky interface.
One complaint stopping me from giving a five star is the hint of Adobe being a little sleazy in their upgrade protocol. I was forced to upgrade to CS2 when an outside firm designed something that could not even be opened in the CS1 version we had bought new only months before. Once I started using CS2, two print vendors were forced to upgrade as well because they could not open the files I sent them. I understand that you have to upgrade with the times, but making files completely useless unless you upgrade seems a little sleazy. I'm sure doing that makes Adobe a ton of cash, but it definitely makes me less loyal to a company that had me completely won over before. It also makes me wonder how much this newly dominant software is going to jerk around its customer base.
