Most major publications use Quark. I believe Amiga Power was done in Quark, even (probably all of Future Publishing uses it). Most major newspapers, magazines, etc. use Quark, including The New York Times, amongst others. It is not poop. There are features most of you will never see because you've never worked with pagination, but it's a pretty significant part of putting together a real publication. While the stuff I work on at the newpaper is irrelevant in the publishing world (IMHO), I communicate with many publishers and such every day. Finding any serious publisher not using Quark is like finding a needle in a haystack.
And yes, Macs are in heavy penetration, but most of us hate them at the newpaper where I work; only the photographers use Macs and even they had to add a new PC just last week due to all sorts of problems with file formats saving incorrectly on the network and some other issues with the Mac's networking.
