I use InDesign all the time as I design magazines with it.
Absolutely LOVE it but would never scrap with it when I have the use of photoshop.
I also used Quark like KCB to design magazines, but that was many many many moons ago. ID is the go to for that kind of design work.
Before indesign I used Quark Express at my job which was the industry standard for a very long time.
