I use the text frame tool for callouts, too.  (The text line tool is 
still useful for some labels, like measurements, for example.)  You can 
also use the text frame tool and put a single-cell table inside.  This 
method gives good control over padding, shading, & borders, and if you 
save the table in the catalog, also determines the default pgf tag for 
the cell contents in subsequent callouts.
