Another point in all of this, there is a lot more to a large web application than just the code. Networks, Routers, Firewalls, DB Servers, Environments, OS's etc etc. We offer very broad-based business solutions that cover all aspects of making web-based applications work and in that way have been able to remain effective as tools and methods evolve.

Anyone can go out and buy Dreamweaver for less than they pay me to build their website, but I haven't run out of work yet. :) Just because they have a tool, doesn't mean they'll be able to use it for much more than menial tasks. And even with the backup/rollback features, I can guarantee that I'll now have customers calling and saying "Um, Bud. I got this thing called Contribute, and now I've destroyed my website.
