Huh, I though current paper sizes were IPad, IPad mini, IPhone, 
1600x1200,1280x1024,..., and whatever the android phones/tablets use.

The idea in the comparison (on my part) was not to say that they're 
equally difficult, but that the UI seems to get in the way (at least with 
FrameMaker, I've no direct experience with InDesign) until you understand 
the workflow that it's designed for.  I've used a number of Adobe 
products over the years, and have found that to be the case.

IOW, it's not about "this is more difficult than that" but that it is 
important to learn the tool, and there is a learning curve before one 
becomes familiar enough to be very productive.

True. It did take some time to figure things out.
The documentation and Google helped a lot
