Adobe Kills FrameMaker for Mac

Posted by pudge on from the be-strong-don't-shed-a-tear dept.

Feneric writes "As noted on FrameUsers.com, FrameMaker for the Mac was officially killed by Adobe. Of course, since one of the primary selling points of FrameMaker is its wonderfully solid cross-platform MS-Windows / Macintosh / Unix support, many are now wondering how long it'll now last for any platform."

    I think the real question is "how long it'll last for any platform other than Windows?"

    Sad.

    Or, "how long will Apple last, after losing all these applications.

    Whats an Apple? Sadly, more and more it's going to look like the answer that we'll hear is "Oh, the iPOD thing?"

    Argh, I hate Framemaker. I use 7 at work on Solaris & Windows. The Solaris version is a buggy pile of crap compared to the Windows version. And guess which version gets the most updates - Windows!

    I think you'll see the Solaris version being dropped soon, I've tried to get support from Adobe about it and I was just wasting my time.
