What Eddie says about InDesign handling of text sounds attractive. For my own typographic quirks, I am also intrigued by InDesign's ability to handle automatic ligatures, even though it is limited only to fi and fl. The only way I can do this in FM (and in Quark) is by using an Expert set and replacing the ligature pairs with the appropriate characters from the Expert set. It is a pain to do in a 400 page book with footnotes, indexes etc, and fraught with danger of missing one, thus leaving in the text something like Wrst for first. It happened. 

But if I understand it correctly, there are no automatic footnotes in InDesign. That would require a manual process which can be just as dangerous. I used to to do that back in Ventura 1.1 days... 

So for the time being FM is here to stay for text, and for strictly graphic purposes, I use Quark.
