RE: FrameMaker 2005 Chautauqua -- November 7-9, Raleigh NC USA

["Szczesniak, Barbara" <bszczesniak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm with you, Martha. I've been using Frame since 1989 (on UNIX, then
Mac, then Windows). I think that I am so used to the UI that it is
second-nature to me now. When newer users talk about how difficult it is
to learn, I tend to think that there is something wrong with them,
rather than with Frame. I guess I've lost perspective on that front.

I don't even apply for technical writing jobs that list MS Word and not
Frame. I think it's the only product out there to do what I need to do.
I will be using it for years, even if they discontinue the product.
However, there seem to be a lot of us, and you would think they would
want our money...

You know, I've been hearing people say this for years, and I still don't

know what they mean. Maybe it's because I've been a Frame user since 
version 1.11b, in early 1986; I don't know. I use lots of other 
applications and I am really curious what people mean when they say that

the Frame UI is "odd," or outdated.

Any takers?

martha, genuinely curious
