As with anything Adobe, it's easy to use, pick up, and run with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe FrameMaker?

It's a little clunky in some areas, the grid system is kind of weird to work with, although if you have any background experience working in indesign or any kind of layout program with Adobe, you should be able ot pick it up and run with it pretty quick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe FrameMaker:

You're probably better off just working with indesign, or farming out the work to someone who can organize a lot of technical information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
