Their intent was to emulate other *Adobe* apps with floating toolbars and dockable dialogs. Over the years, Adobe had made only small changes to the original circa 1990 user interface that they bought from Frame Technologies in 1995, and many people had complained that the UI didn't look sufficiently Adobe-like. The fact that FrameMaker 9.0 has a UI that looks and acts similarly to Adobe's flagship apps should be a great benefit to the minuscule handful of new users who come to FrameMaker from tools like Photoshop or Illustrator or InDesign, but its value to experienced FrameMaker users is (at best) debatable.
Which is why, after testing 9 I am still using 7. On 4/08/2010, at 7:54 AM, Bill Swallow wrote:

But of course it should, otherwise you might forget that you are using an *Adobe Product*. :P
