Actually Quark 3.3 is very widely used, eg on newspapers. Quark 4 was so 
buggy for so long that people said 'why bother', and now although Quark 
5 offers web-related stuff, it's still not a 'must have' for many 
newspaper people. And with a weekly newspaper, you haven't the time to 
move from 3.3 to 4 and be sure that transition problems won't stop the 
next week's issue from being published. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

national weekly newspaper.)
