Hi, David! Great FM and ID user-community resource in your FM <-> ID <-> QXP feature comparison chart! (Thanks for the attribution credit.)
Suggestions for updates: I think there's more scripting support available for ID than those in the table. ID text frames offer auto-resize properties. ID editable text separate stroke and fill properties. ID text can convert to outlines. Other: IIRC, it's possible to create ID bulleted or numbered paragraph styles that use graphics instead of glyphs. I’m rusty on this.
