Existing users, 
I use Quark 7.31 on a daily basis, and have been using Quark as a professional designer for over 15 years. I also use InDesign at work and for freelance. I have NO PROBLEMS getting my work done with QuarkXPress in a timely fashion and every project I do prints perfectly, satisfies my clients and makes $$$$$$$.
Comments like those posted below are NOT helpful, off topic, and to me, annoying.
If you use InDesign, that's fine ... have fun using it, and I'm glad it's working for you.
This is supposed to be a review of Quark 8. Let's hear how it works, what's new, and if it's an improvement over previous versions of the program.
If you're just going to spout off about how much better your design program is ... You're feedback IS COMMENTARY, not a review. And I'll add ... you probably haven't been a designer very long.

I've supported you and people like you for more than 15 years and Quark has been nothing but problems. Empty features additions and lackluster customer support. However they somehow manage to keep the code for the little space alien to come out and fire off the explosive ball when you press the required key combinations. Not cute, not needed and not what we're paying for when a global organization like ours is (or rather, WAS) paying for top notch applications and support.You sir are a blind consumer who has been protected by the IT department too long.

I agree! This is not a fanboy forum. If you have something useful to add, let's hear it. I would say that everyone reading a review of QXP is aware of ID. I use both because my customers use both. I WANT to hear about what is new in this version, not how another competing product is superior.Friday, August 01 2008 @ 01:46 PM PDT

Most of these features SHOULD have been included in a ver 7 update. They are pricing themselves into where people who have to choose between Quark & Adobe will mostly go to Adobe now. I can’t see paying $300 plus shipping for this upgrade.Reply to This
