RE: FrameMaker UI

[Grant Hogarth <rowan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If by "odd" you mean Non-Microsoft, I would agree.
However, I think that MS has many oddities in its interfaces as well.
(As does every other UI -- as a old sig I remember says:
"I love Standards.  There are always so many to choose from!")
Frame's is odd in its own way -- and yes there are things I would change, 
but far fewer than say with Word or <shudder> Corel.

I really wish I had an optimistic view of Adobe and FrameMaker. Here is a product that we use daily and with very limited exceptions, hasn't changed a whole lot since I started using it back in early 90's. It still has one of the most odd UI of any of the major applications I use on a daily basis, and they really chopped me off at the knees when they stopped supporting the Mac OS. Don't get me wrong, I love FrameMaker, but I continue to wonder what sort of future it holds at Adobe.
