RE: Does Madcap Flare shun Trados?

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

I'm using Flare for the past several years (no translation until just now), but I switched over from RoboHelp.
Robohelp appeared to languish for another year or three after I abandoned it, then it started showing action. 

At the time, Flare made it fairly painless to switch from RoboHelp.

Have recent iterations of RoboHelp:

a) caught up to Flare in general usefulness

b) included an easy path to switch from Flare? 

With the right answers to those questions, the next one would be... is RH any friendlier to translators (especially those using Trados)??
