Those early DTP applications all made good use of graphical interfaces, so a few others used GEM, too (e.g. Office Publisher).
It's been a while, but didn't early versions of PageMaker even include Windows (2.0), if you didn't already have it? On IBM PCs, you couldn't really expect anything, so bundling makes sense. I think some mice (Genius and/or Logitech) included simpler DTP applications, too.
Ventura Publisher was pretty great. I think it fared better with multi-column layouts than most other applications, including InDesign until rather recently (spanning headlines).
