So the overall message I am getting...
Is that FrameMaker services a niche. Usually in the brochure/tech illustration market. So it appears to be a relatively small market over all. Now many people like to point out that the Macintosh market in and of itself is small or niche. So a niche piece of software on a niche market like the Macintosh and Adobe finds it less than profitable. Oh wow!!! This is an emergency!

From other posts...I get the impression that Mac users find that products like Indesign fit any need that FrameMaker might be designed specifically to fill. After all we Mac users are despite rumors to the contrary a very practical lot and if one software package can do most if not all of what is needed to do a job...Then why not stick with the one..rather than go to the time and expense of buying two softare packages?
