RE: "You can't search for a style and replace it with a different one, as you can in FrameMaker."  This is not correct - you can search for character and paragraph styles and replace at will. 

RE: Comparisons. (I use both for formatted scientific reports and theses) Overall using Indesign is a pleasure, but rather mouse orientated. The lack of conditional text and numbered styles are my biggest whinges, but it runs on OSX and the text looks superb, as a Framemaker 6.0 user I miss a few things, but feel rather snubbed at being asked to pay a relatively large upgrade fee for version 7 with very few extra features and no OSX support, I am waiting for Indesign 3 which may be a way off, but will surely close the gap. 

You may want to ask the same question in the Indesign Forum - there are probably more converts there!
