howdy! late to the party as usual. I worked with QXP for 16 yrs, and watched IDCS start to eat Quark's lunch. There are a lot of things about QXP I like and find missing in IDCS. QXP was designed by people who understood typesetting, and you got it WYSIWYG instead of the coding that was the industry standard prior. I find the little palettes in IDCS annoying, but hey! its all about AI & PS, and wouldn't want to upset anybody, now would we?
In the plus column, the pdf generated out of IDCS is the bomb. QXP had the crappiest pdf engine ever. I don't miss that at all.
