I use FrameMaker on both my NeXTstation and Powerbook 170 primarily  
because of its equation processor and ability to handly longish technical  
documents populated with figures and tables as well as equations. The  
equation processor is especially spiffy because it is also a symbolic  
processor so you can edit, rearrange, and transform equations...or do  
derivations. (But it can't plot the equations.)
