<bug> its way easier than quark

I'm currently struggling with the book layout for my Pacific series. Why is it that every time I have to sit down and lay something out in Quark XPress I suddenly feel like a complete idiot? I hate using Quark almost as much as I hate Microsoft Word. Granted, it's no dancing paper clip, but Command-+ means "zoom into my document" not BEEP AT ME AND DO NOTHING. Who designed the interface on this thing? The same people who invented those ingenious Floridian election ballots? A focus group consisting only of people who have ten thumbs and no knowledge of Macintosh programming guidelines? People who think it's okay to charge an ungodly sum for a program with an interface that makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a fork, the same people who refused to give price breaks on upgrades, and required a floppy disk to install a program that is run on computers that almost never have floppy drives? People who have no consideration for poor designers who might possibly also use other kinds of software? Oh yeah, them.

I dream that someday I will never have to lay out anything that's more than one page, so I can use Adobe Illustrator until the end of time. I really hate Quark.
