I used Flare for several months, starting last November when version 1.0 was still in Beta. I found it to be a viable option to RH. Flare 1.0 has a few bugs and quirks to it but then so does RH. One thing that impressed me about the beta testing was that MadCap really encouraged testers to report bugs, moreso than many software houses I've seen. They even had a contest for who could report the most. As a result, the inaugaral product was actually pretty good, although it still had a few minor problems. If you are looking for a great HAT, Flare 1.0 isn't there yet and I can't speak for v2.0(scheduled for release next month) but MadCap seems to be pretty dedicated to make people forget about RoboHelp. If they continue doing what they are doing, I suspect they are going to get their wish.
