I have used it lightly: it is useful for small-scale projects where
you are creating all-new documents. It FORCES you to write its way,
which drove me nuts. It has a hard time with long help files.
Doc-to-Help is better if you are converting existing material, and
handles large help files better than RoboHelp.
