All the reasons to use structured FrameMaker that people have submitted
focus on the net benefits, which is probably the main reason why you
would do this. However, here's a complementary take on it. As a lone
writer, I did all the work to write an EDD and convert my unstructured
doc to structured format. I continue to update the EDD to this day.
Although occasionally frustrating, I got a great sense of accomplishment
from the initial work, and continue to enjoy coming up with ways to
improve how I manage my documents.
If you enjoy the "tech" in tech writer and like working on the tools
that make your day-to-day job easier, it's a lot of fun.
(Going structured also lets you take advantage of some of the great
tools that Russ Ward has written.)
