It's a bit disingenuous, perhaps even hyperbole re: the title.

- I can't upload and place tiff/eps/pdf files, so I can't use this for print. I could convert to PNG, but there ain't no CMYK PNG afaik.

- Export isn't PDFX/2000

- No printer marks/registration, all the things you want when printing.

It's a neat web app, but to call it InDesign is pretty off the mark. Maybe more like Home Desktop Publisher 2000 meets Google Docs.

EDIT:

I publish a magazine in Vietnam. Even though it's primarily iPad, we do a print run of each issue. http://facebook.com/emoimagazine (Bikinis, so NSFW sort of).

Also, the PDF export does some horrendous image crunching. I uploaded an 8.5x11 image @ 300 dpi, placed it in a document, downloaded the PDF and the compression artifacts are really noticeable.
