It doesn't really matter what anyone else's tool of choice is...what matters
is how you want to work and which tool best meets *your* needs. You can
download a Help Authoring Tool comparison chart from my site at http://www.helpstuff.com/downloads/tools.pdf.
BTW, Flare (MadCap's tool) can't be anyone's tool of choice just yet ;-)
This will obviously change after it has been released.
