    adobe

    adobe's loosing its grasp on the OS X desktop piblishing market with all these new desktop publishing apps announced by smaller companies -- best of all, most of them (like Stone), are Cocoa.
    And Adobe allready said that its apps will only be Carbonized, not Cocoa

    never say only..

    Never say "only carbonized". Don't dissuade software companies from doing it. Apple is working hard at making carbon a very good API. While not as modular as Cocoa, Carbon is the only way that companies can easily get their apps on Mac OS X, and it's the only way they can still use their existing C++ codebase.

    But how good is this?

    Ok, a publishing suite for OS X. Is it good enough (from the DESIGNER'S perspective) to move off of the established apps. My workflow is so dependant on QuarkXpress, will these "Cocoa" optimized make enough of a difference?

    Not good enough

    These folks are supposedly trying to build a publishing system without using InDesign or Quark XPress? No way. Too many publishing companies have invested too much in those applications to simply throw them away and rely on an application from a little known company...

    Pff!

    When Quark was a start up, everybody said:
    "Am I supposed to stop using PageMaker? No way! Our publishing company has invested too much in this application to simply throw it away and rely on an application from a little known company..."
    Look at the situation today...
    And think again!
