atw: Product of choice

Guys, if you had total freedom of choice as to what products to use for a
suite of printed/on-line computer software manuals, what products would you
use?
 

I know I do a lot of whining about the products I am forced to use, and
until now, I have not even considered what I would use given a free hand.
The contract before last I was using Framemaker, and found it very slow and
cumbersome, but reliable.  Then I went back to Word which is fast and
efficient, but forced me to get back into the mentality of chasing
corruptions (features) around to try to get large documents as stable as
possible.  The current manuals I am working on are in PageMaker - but I am
being given a free hand from here.  What experience have others had with
alternative technologies and are they worth the time taken to set them up?

 

So what would we use in a perfect world?
