How about you doing some reading and making a to-do list of the basic
features that FrameMaker users have been requesting for years?

An easy way to find out what many of those are is to look at the
plug-ins that people are willing to pay for. How are book-level
variables, real templates, and external stylesheets still not part of
the base product? Why, despite the extensive UI changes in FM9, do we
still have tiny fixed-sized list boxes from the 1980s?
