If we mentioned Stone Design Create, then we have to add Pages.app by Pages.
EDIT: but Create was more a drawing program than page layout.

Did Pages ever actually ship? I recall Bruce Webster who made a name as an author in the nascent NeXT community of the day stopped writing to pursue Pages.
But I never heard if it ever made it to market or with what feature set.

_NeXT Magazine_ described a DTP publishing package as "in the bag" after Pages by Pages was announced --- it was far enough along that Anderson Financial Services bought it to sell (and also got the afs.com domain name for marketing purposes).
