I’d say my use of each app was about 50/50. Also, any project in which a client wants more than a printable pdf, specifically when they want an InDesign file well, obviously, that’s the app I use. Actually, I believe I did one issue using Pages and it worked out okay but I felt more comfortable with InDesign for that kind of work. For example, I’ve worked with two different community newspapers and newspaper layout isn’t something I would ever do with Pages. In that time I’ve used InDesign for the projects where I felt Pages was lacking in some way. On the Mac side of things I’ve been using InDesign and Pages since they were released.
But there is hope to be found in Apple’s Pages app and with a recent update to the app I’ve been giving more thought to how I might transition more of my InDesign work in that direction.
While the company that makes Affinity Photo also has a publishing app in the works that is intended to replace InDesign it is likely a ways off for the Mac and even further away for the iPad. Anytime I’ve written about my transition to iPad for more of my work I always note that one of the few reasons I have for returning to the Mac for client work is InDesign.
