There are a lot more problems for designers going to OSX than the absence of Quark for OSX. There are many small apps and plugins we need that are not on X. Scanner and printer support are very bad and some of the new "Carbonized" apps have a lot of problems.
Photoshop seems to be working well in X but Illustrator 10 has some real problems. Some of Illustrators basic functions have been subjected to BrainDead progress and are now very cumbersome to use. Adobe srewed up the Pathfinder functions and the way some of the Filters are applied. They even srewed up Stroke selection by simply reversing the point size that first appear when the dropdown menu opens. How often does anyone use a 100pt stroke? I think it will take a minimum of a year and a half for print designers to be able to go to X in large numbers.
