But you wouldn't expect InDesign users who don't need it to pay a higher
price to have a facility like that coded in.

There is a script for imposition supplied with InDesign for basic booklet
production.

Users (quite a few I suspect) who work in magazines and newspapers - not to
mention those making big, catalogues - send pages to printers who have their
own imposition preferences and software related to the presses in use so
don't need an imposition feature.

In between there is a raft of people who are producing in-house work in more
complex imposed form. So they buy the plug-in to keep the cost of the basic
InDesign engine at a reasonable (?!?) level.

I would like a PageMaker-style story editor. So would a lot of other people,
but as threads in this forum have shown, by no means everybody. I would be
prepared to buy a story editor plug in to get what I want.

It boils down to a balance of what features are going to be appreciated by
the most users, against the cost of adding those features.

You can't please all the people all the time, but it seems to me that Adobe
has got the balance broadly right  [apart from the story editor that is
:-) ]
