I'v been using FH since version 11, so I can't share the object inspector
pain I've seen on this Forum. I notice rumours of a new version - just
wondering if the general concesus is that Macromedia listen to users with
their updates? Do people think that FH12 will be more reliable? Is there
anywhere we can go to lobby for features (better PDF export please, sort the
fonts out, etc etc)

Neither can I actually as I'm coming to FH from Illustrator and I prefer
FH's Object Panel to AI's Appearance Palette but it boils down to
personal tastes I guess. There are things that certainly could be
improved with the Object Panel and the work flow it imposes on users though.

I don't know about FreeHand but I have seen user feedback implemented in
other MM application so I think they generally listen quite well.

You guess is as good as anyone's on FH12's reliability but if you want
to make requests or report bugs for any MM application, use the
following form:
