Well, PC Magazine (we won't talk about reliability) had a "shootout" and
VP won.  The concensus seems to be that if you are doing structured or
long documents (more than a couple pages) that VP is better.  If you are
doing a lot of paste-up, short ads, or flyers, PM is better. 
Personally, I love VP and would probably like PM if I could ever get the
hang of it :-).
