future of FrameMaker

[Shmuel Wolfson]

Why do programs always have to "go" somewhere to be worth using? As long 
a company supports it's products, tries to fix the bugs and is keeping 
up with other tools of it's kind, there does not have to be a major 
overhaul in each version. That's the myth that software companies like 
to perpetuate, in order to give people reasons to keep upgrading to new 
versions. I think it's mostly psychological.

Do you buy a new car every time the next year's model comes out with a 
few new features?

Regards,
Shmuel Wolfson
