Great Page Layout qualities, but pricey.

What differentiates QuarkXPress from other similar products?
I use QuarkXPress for page layout in Design because it's what I was taught in college. It's user interface is easy to navigate and use once you're trained to use it. It does the same thing as any other page editor; but people did not want to pay the expensive price, and people had problems integrating it into their work pipeline.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like the lower palette bar at the bottom. I use it mostly to edit text and graphics. I also know the keyboard shortcuts, so I can get things done quickly.
What do you dislike most about this product?
As I graduated college, Quark was avoided by many businesses because of the cost and they said they could not integrate it into their work pipeline. I disagree, but most people don't want to pay the expensive price.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend to anyone thinking to buy Quark, to do a trial and see how it feels to him or her.
