Not me, sadly. I used it a lot back in ye olde dayes, but when Adobe killed the Mac version I had to give it up. I have not forgiven them for this. And now it is subscription only, and separate from CS. I make sad face now.

Same here! We used it - on Solaris! - for document preparation at work. I have to admit that preparing and pasting graphics into Word with Visio is better than the FM graphics editor, but OMG, I wish I had that table tool back compared to the abomination in MS Word.

Used it back in the early 2000s to write seriously large manuals. It was essential if you were in an industry that thought SGML was the future...but in all fairness, FM rocked at large multi-piece documents at a time when both Word and WordPerfect would have crashed at the sight.
