...I have just now posted over at Pariah's blogsite QuarkVSInDesign.com. Pariah's done me and incredible compliment in asking for it. He's a good fella; very supportive and encouraging.
Here it is, a review of the new QuarkXPress XTension, QuarkVista:

Shorter version, in case you're someone who does't do layout: QuarkVista is a good effort from a reawakened Quark, who realizes that if it doesn't get up and do something now-ish, InDesign will consign QuarkXPress to the "app for home users" dustbin of history where PageMaker and Publisher now languish.
Make no mistake about it, Adobe InDesign has what it takes to fight it out with Quark, and give as good as it gets. But with more generous licensing allowances, free upgrades for registered users, and spiffy and worthwhile additions like QuarkVista and ALAP's PSD Import XTensions, Quark seems to have finally woken up to the fact that there are no more laurels to rest upon.
