IMO, the real deal maker/breakers go something like:
* What do you need to do now, and perhaps going forward, that FrameMaker
can't do now, that some other product does?
* What do you need to do now, and perhaps going forward, that FrameMaker
can do now, but some other product does better?
* Is the real total cost of migrating from FrameMaker to some other
product worth the advantage(s) that it provides?
* Is there value in retaining FrameMaker in your workflow as you
incorporate some other product for its advantages?

Rick,
The statement was made in 2004... not that the timing changes things a
lot, but FM is looking more viable from 2007 than it did back then. I
think. ;- )

Hi Becky,
I am as bullish on FrameMaker as anyone, but it is not inaccurate to
say the
FrameMaker "is starting to show its age." As for "lack of recent
development," there have been few noteworthy improvements in
unstructured
FrameMaker since version 6 improved the book window. As Frame users,
we know
that there has been a lot of action in the structured Frame arena,
but to an
outsider looking in, the quoted statement seems quite reasonable.
