I believe that Adobe InDesign makes you a better designer. Part of it is that from the outset it looks very simple and not too overwhelming. Another reason is that you can take the work that you’ve made in other programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Word) and spread them out on a virtual page and begin moving them around without destroying the content. Another reason is the use of the grid, even without pages being too architectural or structured, the grid helps organize content in a 2-Dimensional picture plane, it makes the design rational and intentional (even if the intention is to look chaotic and scattered)
If you are not already using Adobe InDesign (or Quark Xpress for that matter) then I highly recommend learning how to use it – trust me, it will make you a better designer.
