FRAME from that era was nice and fast.
As in FrameMaker? I barely know it. Back in the '80s I was a total
Aldus PageMaker fanboy. :-) IMHO one of the greatest GUI apps ever
written.
I've used FrameMaker a lot...it's great for handling large documents and
collections of documents. Used it quite a bit at IBM and handled 1000+
page documents (of course that wasn't all one "source" file).
I could never get my head around Word for anything more than 10 pages or
so. Just too hard to deal with everything in massive documents.
Now I almost exclusively use LaTeX. I've found that being able to use
my own text editor to actually write the content means I don't have to
switch between different notions on how moving around and edit should
work. Using a mark-up language also means I generally have more control
on how things appear in the document (something that continually
frustrated me with Word especially when dealing with cross references
and figures).
