I think the text labelling and the layouts require upgrading. Neither has been touched for years and they have slipped behind. For example you always seem to have to have a bit of a fight with the frames to get the map at the correct display scale, and the legends often don't display correctly. On the label front some more intelligence about fitting the names in (see MAPublisher Version 7 for example which now has the option to fit the label within the polygon or onto the base line by adjusting the font and letter spacing), and proper curved text.
