In fairness, however, it could well be that the typesetter in question was just incompetent, and the fault is not with InDesign itself.

Such a comparison would be interesting. Considering my limited experience with TeX and what I've seen from it in the past, I could be unfairly judging it myself.
However, there's not much in the way of samples about this site to recommend TeX, and replacing my current pain in the ass workflow with a completely different pain in the ass workflow that will yield inferior results for me is pointless.
