We use Photoshop eps in Quark documents in order to preserve data when
postscripted. If you place a cmyk tif or jpg into Quark and
inadvertently print rgb (or vice versa) it will be (very poorly)
converted into that color space.
Also we use dcs2 files sometimes if a print job requires interaction
between 4c and spot, eg. a black or 4c drop shadow that needs to print
over (or under) a spot color.
BTW, are there alternatives to dcs2 files for 4c + spot Photoshop files?
I find them a little annoying.
Thanks!

P.S. Is there some kind of industry push toward getting rid of the eps
format? Sometimes when I mention that I use eps files I get these
emotional responses from people from Adobe like I'm dabbling in Satan
worship or something.

I've always wondered about this myself. Someone alluded a ways back that EPS
was quickly becoming a legacy file format. Aside from the reasons Cedric
mentions about the EPS containing additional processing instructions, is
there any reason to favor EPS over TIFF? Their view files create nicer
looking previews in Quark, and better low-res proofs, but other than that is
there any reason to use them?
