Re: WebWorks vs. RoboHelp

[TechComm Dood <techcommdood -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Well, that's what's being slogged out on many lists. My theory remains
that the product competes and complements Macromedia's direct
competition (Adobe) too much, the product isn't in a cash-cow position
that RoboHelp is, and the user base is low enough that it can,
unfortunately, be written off or perhaps bribed to switch to another
solution.

I don't agree that it should be treated in this regard, though I don't
use it either, but in the end business is business. If you're
investing in a FrameMaker-based single-sourcing solution, and RoboHelp
for FrameMaker goes away, you still have plenty of options to turn to
from other providers, and fortunately these products all work roughly
the same, so there's little relearning of concept, only mechanics,
which ain't tough (IMHO).
