Joseph, I would be grateful to be included in your explanation list. To the LaTex advocates: What version/product/learning tools and resources have you found most useful? I'm not at all interested in going back to some coding-oriented environment.
It occurs to me that leaving FrameMaker cuts one's last tie to Adobe Acrobat, as well. One may need Acrobat to publish from Adobe applications, but not to publish from anyplace else, of which I am aware. Best to all, Elchanan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joseph Lorenzini Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2013 10:13 AM To: FrameMaker Forum; [email protected] Subject: So Long and Thanks for the Fish -- Migrating from FrameMaker to Flare Hi all, I have used FrameMaker for over 5 years. I have used it to produce thousands of pages of documentation. And I honestly thought that FM was a great tool...for a time. Plus, the community was super helpful. So its with some regret that I am telling you that I am leaving this community and the TCS suite. I am adopting Flare as a replacement. Please note I am no evangelist of Flare nor do I think that there's One Right Tool. FrameMaker can be a great solution for some and if works for you then great. The reasons why I made this choice were driven by a specific business and use case There are many reasons for this but that would cause this post to grow quite large and I didn't want to flood this community with a gigantic post about why I am not using its tool anymore. That said, my experience of why and how i migrated may be of interest to others in this forum. If you'd like a detailed explanation and are curious to learn more, I would be happy to share those details with you offline. Feel free to email me. Sincerely, Joseph Lorenzini
