I'll come out of lurking for a minute to add my name to the list of recovering Frame addicts. And we were serious FrameMaker junkies, too. We're the people who wrote the Sourcerer plugin, if that name rings a bell. Sourcerer evolved directly into all of Russ Ward's great structured FrameMaker plugins at West Street Consulting, all of which we used for many years to develop and extremely intricate workflow. But times change. For us, we saw that HTML5 output was the future of our Online Help needs. When we compared Frame/RoboHelp to Flare, and Adobe to MadCap, it wasn't even close. That was several years ago. We're Flare junkies now and couldn't be happier.
I lurk here to keep tabs on what's going on in the FrameMaker world, but I've never seen anything that will make me second guess our decision to switch to Flare. FrameMaker is a great tool and still has a role in the TechComm world. But I will say again, very respectfully, that times change and we need to change with them or risk becoming as obsolete as the software products we love.
