Two comments:

(1) FrameMaker was featured on Adobe's home page for quite a while last
autumn 
-- they used the graphic from the 5.5 User Guide and described FM's key
features.

(2) I suspect that, rightly or wrongly, Adobe is marketing FM as a
heavy-duty product and using its in-house consultants and its VARs to move
the product. When is the last time you saw a bulldozer advertised on
prime-time television?
