Scattergun effect. MS Publisher is low-priced, it is - superficially at least - similar to the rest of the MS Office Suite, and if you spend just a little extra, MS throws it in for "FREE"! That would be the explanation why I got _my_ experience with it. The people I was working for at that particular time, didn't have much money, but what the heck, _they_ had a DTP! Serious publishers use serious tools. And Quark is as far as I know, still the market leader in WYSIWYG DTP, with Pagemaker only slightly behind.
