Seriously, there's no such thing as the perfect software ... it
doesn't exist. WWP has flaws. RoboHelp has flaws. If your content is
in FrameMaker, and you are using RoboHelp, then the biggest flaw is
your workflow, perhaps you think WWP sucks major because you haven't
put the effort into understanding how to use the tool? But, as long as
your employer doesn't mind paying for the inefficiency, all is well,
right?
Anyway, as was pointed out, WWP is much friendlier out of the box, now.
