I've used Pro Page 1.3 and 2.0, and Pagestream 1.8, 2.0, and 2.1 (as well as
PageMaker and Quark Express on the Mac), and PageStream 2.1 is IMHO, the
*BEST* of them all. Easy to use, feature-packed, allows more fonts than any
other (Pagestream fonts, Compugraphic fonts, Adobe fonts (!)), pretty damn
solid, and by far the best built-in structured graphics tools of any DTP
software. Imports practically ANY graphics file, including Pro Draw clips
(Pro Draw is not the hottest structured graphics program I've seen, but
that's where all the clip art is), practically ANY text file, and outputs
to ANY printer, from a fancy Postscript device to a lowly 9-pin dot matrix.

Saxon Publisher looks mighty nice, but the reviews have pointed out some
severe restrictions, and I don't really need weirdly-shaped text boxes
anyway.

Differing opinions are welcome, of course...
