<p class="MsoNormal">Actually, I've not even participated in beta testing of FM and have been solicted for feedback and feature requests from the Adobe team. I'm happy with them.<br>
<br>
And the new interface, in my opinion, is a big improvement over the old FM 7 interface. I like it so much better. And you can customize your workspaces. You may want to check out this video for an overview of using the new interface (as of FM 9). I found it
very helpful in making the switch way back then:<br>

<br>
You may also want to check out message #35 in the following thread, for screen captures and descriptions of an example custom workspace I use. It fits everything on one screen and works really well for me:
