FrameMaker does have more functionality, but; I just don't see end users  
using FrameMaker.  You work up a proposal or two for some companies and  
drop FM on their desk and you will find some angry users.

I have decided to keep the new WP in hopes that someday it will be fixed,  
upgraded and rewritten.  We also need WP compatibility with PCs since  
there are so many organizations we share files with that are in WP  
formats.
