I second that. Recently I had to use Adobe Indesign for a bit and I was honestly shocked.

I don't know what happened with InDesign. Coming from pagemaker and Quark it was somewhat revolutionary and now it's as the other poster commented, clunky. Illustrator certainly has added bloat but generally works better with each update and Photoshop has added lots of useful tools but not InDesign. Actually they probably add tons of new stuff to InDesign but nothing that I have found useful.

Ya it's a bit clunky. I never hated it, but I was also not pushing it that hard. Publisher doesn't feel clunky.
