I suppose you're right. Sigh!
Perhaps if I was 40 years younger, I'd get an open source thing going ... Scribus does some of this stuff but it's "not quite there".
And to think that FM originally started out under Unix!

Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. I've been
convinced for years now that there's some core kernel in FM that Adobe
has never understood or known how to modify ever since they bought
Frame and its original creators left the building, but even though
there's a constant grumble about the app on user groups, users march
out like sheep and upgrade every time there's a new release because
we're such a small niche market that nobody wants to invest in an
attempt to unseat FM. I predict that we'll continue to swallow
whatever Adobe feeds us until they decide FM isn't profitable enough
and discontinue it, and then we'll grumble about the fact that it's
gone.
