I've also used FrameMaker, and in fact own it. Neither it, nor Word, etc...
are suitable for mathematical articles. One would be far, far better off
putting in the effort to learn TeX. FrameMaker's equation editor, in 
particular, is very weak. 
 
Now that's not to say that FrameMaker does not have a place in life. It does
as a general corporate technical document DTP'ing package. It doesn't for
mathematical theses (in my opinion).
