Yeah, I rolled my own, RubyFrontier:
http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/
I've written some very extensive help viewer app documentation with it, plus I use it to maintain all my Web sites, so clearly I think it's a powerful and flexible tool; on the other hand it's kind of quirky in that it's modeled after UserLand Frontier's website framework which is not everyone's cup of tea. However, it's free and open source, and it's Ruby so you get to use whatever cool Ruby tools you feel like. I write in kramdown and HAML and SASS and things like that, so I'm not doing much manual HTML. m.
