InDesign as a replacement for Framemaker

To be very clear, although designed as a replacement for PageMaker, InDesign
was certainly not designed by Adobe to be a "replacement for FrameMaker."

Yes, over time a number of FrameMaker features have been incorporated into
InDesign, but unless you are using none of FrameMaker's structured features
(support for XML and DITA), and conditional text, equations, etc., InDesign
won't satisfy your needs.
