  "It is only meant for what it does well"

  Version: Adobe InDesign CS5.5

  Pros

  Publish to PDF
  Great controls on typography
  Good for arrangement of layout for different paper sizes and format

  Cons

  Its not meant for interactivity
  - Don't have Hue/Saturation/Lightness control
  - Cannot key in WEB color hex codes
  - Buttons and other forms of interactivity are best leave for other programs. They did it much better.
  - Slow in performance

  Summary

  It is definitely not a replacement for any interactive tools.
  If Adobe wants inDesign to be more capable, make it more user-friendly, instead of adding features which other programs are better in doing.
