What's your assesment of the current state of documentation tools that writers for Open Source projects use? It seems that most projects, such as the Linux Documentation Project and GNOME, have standardized on DocBook. Are you happy with the Cygnus DocBook tools or do you sometimes find yourself wishing you were using a commercial document prep packages such as Quark or Framemaker? If so, why? If not, why are the free docbooks tools superior?
