Layout Programs: What do you use?

I was just wondering what layout programs are people using to do layout work? I am using Quark 5.0 for PC at home. At work we are using Quark 4.0 for PC but now we are moving over to Adobe Indesign for PC and Mac in a few months.

I use Quark 4.0 and Photoshop 4.0 on the Mac.

I have InDesign, Pagemaker, and several other programs but I rarely touch them.
 




I use InDesign CS for the PC, Paint Shop Pro 8.1 and CC2 Pro. I also use Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0, which is great for downsizing a pdf file.
 

I used Serif PagePlus 9 for the playtest edition of Tales of Angor & the covers of my clip art collections. I've also toyed with Word and OpenOffice.

For images I use a combination of hand drawing, Painter7, Painter Classic, Photoshop Elements, and Adobe Photodeluxe. (Each one is a little better at some things than another)

Quark is on my wish list, but I don't see being able to justify that expense for a long time to come. Heck, I haven't even been able to justify a full version of Photoshop yet ;)
 


Hmmm...

Photoshop 7 w/ a full range of Extensis plugins
Pagemaker 7
pdfFactory Pro 5
Adobe Acrobat 4
Campaign Cartographer 2 when appropriate aerial/USGS maps are unavailable
and our newest toy in the office is:
Home Design Architect Series 4000, which can produce blueprint quality floorplans and then cough up some impressive 3D renderings of the exterior and interior of the floorplans, complete with furnishings and environmental effects so those gothic structures can have a sweet night time shot.
 

I'm running a 17-inch iMac running OS 10.3.6 with:

InDesign 2.0
Photoshop CS
Illustrator 10
Acrobat 6.0 Professional

I open an OS 9 window and run Quark XPress 4.1, if I have to deal with converting stuff from older files.
