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.
Since I use Mac and Windows I use TeXLive that provides MacTeX and
MikTeX respectively. On the Mac, I use TeXShop exclusively and on
Windows, mainly TeXWorks.
I wouldn't call it a coding oriented environment, but some might. It
prefer to think of it as wysiwym.
For those that prefer the wysiwyg experience, there is Scientific Word:

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.
I use Acrobat quite often, but I am not tied to the latest version of it.

*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
