I don't think that was ever true. Perhaps in the publishing company he worked in, but definitely not everywhere. It's popular, but it's not the only thing used. As far as proprietary apps go, I think InDesign might be beating it out, and possibly Quark, too.
One thing to note is that O'Reilly, for instance, uses DocBook (probably others). TeX is still the dominant typesetting software for Mathemeticians. In fact, <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1584883472/freeeducation-20" title="amazon.com">this Encyclopedia of Mathematics</a amazon.com> was written entirely in TeX.
Everybody uses different tools. The only thing becoming a near-universal standard is PDF for the page interiors, and even that is not completely universal.
