I use Flare 8 every day. I love it. Flare does everything I ask of it.
MadCap tech support is marvelous, and gets back to you within 24 hours.
I can't say enough about the online help forums. I start there first, and keep asking questions until someone tells me I'd be better off emailing support.

Subject: Robo vs Flare
HAT lovers, pls forgive me if this has been hashed & rehashed to the ground.
I DID search the archives first, and found out that some believed that Flare 7 was better for content management and Robo 8 performed better for Interactive content.
But now Flare 9 and Robo 10 are here. I'm going to see demos from both companies this week, so I want to hear what yooz guyz-the peeps who use these tools-think.
Personally, I like user-friendly super-intuitive products. The more I can just figure it out and guess as I go, the happier I am. (Do all tech writers hate reading user manuals, or is it just all humans? ;-)
Which do you prefer, and/or for what purposes? And if you can't stand talking about these tools any more, no offense taken-pls point me in the right direction.
Thanks comrades! ;-)
