FM8 looks like a codebase update to me. They've built in the infrastructure they need for most new features that require interaction with deeper layers of the underlying code, and made the application competitive so it can be on par with the rest of their coming office tools suite. The future is where the more cosmetic changes belong, as well as bigger ones that build on the infrastructure enhancements we've seen already.
