Hi, LastChance and Mike! I understand you. But I repeat: keep quiet, stop the rat race and find a another way to get your foot-/endnotes 😊
It's not so complicated as long as you don't rearrange your pages!)
Now, concerning your question, well, if you are a professional in the field, keep using InDesign! Adobe is a sound reference, and since you get payed for your work, no problem with the expensive subscription system Adobe has forced us to adopt.
I used to be a professional in the field and used Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign without discuting the price, because they were – and will remain – the absolute reference.
But then comes the time when you are no more a professional. And then forget Adobe, it's no more for you!!
When I got retired, I looked for an alternative – with little hope,.. And found the Affinity suite which is at 95% equivalent to Adobe's for a fraction of the price.
More: it is in many respects, better!
Last but not least, I could reopen and reuse the hundreds of Freehand illustrations I made in the past and considered lost, since Adobe, after having absorbed Macromedia and discontinued Freehand never offered a possibility to have conversion to Illustrator. And here comes Affinity, and you get the conversion you had stopped dreaming of...
Let's see what we receive and stop complaining too much!
And again: I am absolutely shure that we will get our foot-/ennotes feature soon...
