Back when Adobe swallowed up Frame Technology, I recall
an acquaintance of mine who worked for Frame (and didn't
any longer after the change of ownership) saying that most of
the brains behind Frame had departed, taking the real knowledge
about how the program worked "under the hood" with them.
Since then Adobe has put lots of effort into tacking things onto
the edges of FrameMaker, but making changes to its basic
operations - for example, adding those multiple levels of Undo -
seem to escape them. I wonder if that's an indication that
they're still uneasy messing with the core of the program.
