"Our plan is that the new FileMaker 6 line will be our last developed for Mac OS 9."

Why would anyone with FMPro 5.5- and Mac OSX+ want to invest in FMPro 6? Why not just wait for the version to be written for OSX+

Or does 6 really have that much more to offer? It's still single-threaded without queueing in ScriptMaker isn't it?

The only reason to upgrade from 5.5 to 6 is for a few new features, like constrained and expanded finds and custom dialogue boxes.

I am using 5.5... personally I see no reason to upgrade.

Why not just wait for the version to be written for OSX+

Not sure I know what you mean here. FileMaker has been made for OS X since version 5.5. Just because they're going to stop supporting OS 9 in the next version, doesn't mean it will be more "written for OS X" than it is now...
