I’ve been out of the printing support business for over a decade, so I don’t know what is preferred now, but when I was leaving, the push was taking printing materials online and making the print publishing and web publishing business seamless. As the API hasnt changed between 2015 & 2016 versions, most XTension running in QuarkXPress 2015 should also work in QuarkXPress 2016.
People were switching left and right and Quark had to come out with another version that was keeping up with InDesign, and even made the upgrade affordable, but the damage was done. Discuss third-party XTensions® software for QuarkXPress 2015 and QuarkXPress 2016. Once Adobe updated InDesign to address many of the shortcomings that Quark veterans pointed out to them, things got worse for Quark. As Mac OS X has been 64 bit for a while now, this has no implication for users on OS X. They didn’t really like how Quark nickel and dimed them for updates and support, but it still was faster in getting projects done than indesign. QuarkXPress 2015 for Mac and QuarkXPress 2015 for Windows are both 64 bit, no compromise made here, as this has significant speed improvements. This was one of the major reasons why a lot of print shops stuck with Quark. Early InDesign was enticing, but lacked more powerful typesetting controls that Quark had. Adobe thought it still was the 80’s and could charge $$$ for fonts that had been around for more than a decade and yet their pricing was like it was cutting edge.
Both Quark and Adobe were very arrogant at that time.
