I use both. Even though InDesign is adding features with CS2 I would not attempt to create long technical documents with it. As Dov mentioned "need support for variables (including numbering), structure (XML), equations (other than via expensive third-party plug-ins), etc."
InDesign is still not up to par with FrameMaker. Even if you go back to FrameMaker 3 (Unix) where I started, InDesign does not have the capability of that FrameMaker.
