If there is enough of a market, perhaps a plug-in be developed that will import Quark and/or ID docs. Something like PM2Q back in the day; they madea Quark to ID plugin, I think.
I used both Quark and ID, after starting with Pagemaker. I never came to love Quark. We regularly prepared materials in languages other than English, and as of about Pagemaker 3 or 4, this was easy because you could add the hyphenation dictionaries for a modest cost. In PM 5 and later, and in ID, those were included. The A-Holes at Quark wanted you to shell out an insane amount for another version of Quark, Quark Passport. It was such a dick move. And they never added a couple of common sense features that made life much, much easier for me in ID and Pagemaker.
