For me, the best typesetting software, specially for typesetting material that contains some (or a lot of) mathematics, is TeX, or if you are not so much of a purist, LaTeX. Nothing can match the beauty of a page typeset using TeX. And nothing can match the programmability and total user control provided by TeX. Now, if you like to point and click, then TeX is not for you. But if you like to write your typesetting commands using a programming language, then TeX is definitely your kind of ball.
