This DTP software is a classic. It is mature and stable. For long documents like books or manuals it is a good choice. It may be a little too mature, though. The underlying technology is 16-bit code that does not take advantage of today's modern operating systems. The user interface looks like something coming from the 1980s. In the book publishing market there is not much of a competition, so Adobe may think they could get away with this. But they can't really. Compare Corel's Ventura Publisher 8. It is also an excellent choice for books and long structured documents. It is based on up-to-date 32-bit technology and a the printing engine from Corel Draw. The modern user interface is very similar to the recent versions of Corel Draw. So, Adobe needs to do more than they did for this Upgrade to keep Framemaker competitive, esp. they when they charge that much money for it.
