Only briefly. Before about 1988, Unix systems (Interleaf and Frame) were still clear leaders, and then Apple began to stumble from around 1990 - the IIfx was the top of the line for a looong time, and soon looked very dated compared to the 486-based systems selling for a quarter of the price.

But, yeah, for those couple of years the combination of the Mac II, Laserwriter II, and Ready Set Go / Pagemaker / Quark was king. The Amiga never really had a chance to gain a foothold.
