I agree, I really like Pagemaker.  It works really well, is pretty robust,
and does many things much better (IMHO) than other applications.

I've tried out Indesign 2 and tried to import some reasonably complex
documents into it.  No real luck, but then again, I didn't know what I was
doing.  It didn't seem to import the stories with their correct format, let
alone things like mixtures of graphics etc.  I had to redo all the text
blocks etc., which made it basically unusable in terms of what I had already
done.

However, there are some great things in Indesign.  Tables, for example, are
excellent and easy to produce - leaving Pagemaker and Adobe Table for dead.
For some reason, the printout looks better as well.  Maybe they have re-done
the kerning algorithms or something.  The extra bells and whistles are very
good too.
