No Frame v. Word war.
But, I think WordHelp better addresses and combats RoboHelp than it does
address the higher cost of FrameMaker. That is, I agree WordHelp seems
like a very capable product and those who are using Word-based workflows
should probably give it serious consideration with regards to their
current help authoring solution, not with regards to FrameMaker.

I just offered a tip:
Using Word?
Wish you could use WebWorks Publisher?
Don't want to buy Framemaker (expensive) and
convert all your documents (time-consuming)?
Now there's a version of WWP for you.
It's entirely a good thing. Win-win. Everybody's happy. Oh, frabjous
day.
I don't see at all how it warrants beating the same old dead horse
(Framemaker vs. Word) yet again.
It seems to offer the same functionality as WWP for Framemaker--for
example,
context IDs are just fields in the Word source--without the cost of
Framemaker
