Hi Roger I still use MIF2Go for Word to DITA conversions (via Frame, of course). Yes, it still works with FrameMaker 11 on Windows 10 and yes, it's incredibly powerful. I still have a (very old) video here on YouTube which shows you more or less how it works:

I wish someone would update MIF2Go for the later versions of Frame. Jeremy Griffith did some really nice work here.
