I'm curious to know how people who have been using Frame&SGML for a while feel about it.

I've had it for about four months. My two largest complaints:

- To change from regular FrameMaker to SGML or back again, you have to change the setting, then exit the program. I suppose this setup speeds the startup, but it's a nuisance if the interface you last used isn't the one you want when you start FrameMaker. It seems incredibly clumsy to me.

- There's no DocBook support built-in. Since DocBook is probably the most thorough and most complete DTD being used, support would be very useful. I suppose you could cobble together a document that would be DocBook compatible, but I admit I haven't done so yet.

On the plus side, if you've never worked with SGML or XML, both the program and the manual would probably be a good introduction. Most of the available documentation on markup languages is formidably poor.
