It handles numbered lists very poorly and it is quirky and seems to lack any coherent use model. Frame on the other, while not perfect (what software is) and certainly less intuitive at least does what you want it to do and doesn't try to do so many things you wish it wouldn't.

I think the key difference can be summed up by saying that Word takes a lifetime to master to the degree at which it can be used to produce results comparable to those that can be produced quite easily with Frame. It can be done, but is it worth it?
