SOP in any market, although Adobe makes it worse.  Most people that 
buy those high-end / expensive products use only those features that 
would be found in the less expensive products.  Those markets depends 
on the supidity of their customers to survive.

There are a few people, probably 1% of the market, that actually 
use/need the "advanced" features.  Of course, if the market was 
actually targetted to just them, they'd never buy the software as it 
would cost 10billion quatloos per copy at those volumes.

MS Word vs AppleWorks, heck... MS Word vs TeachText is a great example.

heh.  I ran into an interesting marketing coup the other day.  A new 
Mac user that was perfectly happy with the cheaper product, MS Works 
(not sure of the product name) on his Windoze laptop, absolutely 
insisted the only equivalent was full-on MS Office ($400 ?) on his 
new Mac.  He was SHOCKED to see what Pages and *cough* NeoOffice 
could do.
