encryption for better security of personal information collected on e-commerce
applications, but the document and reporting functionality is awesome as well.
Event management is probably a feature set that I would rarely use, but I guess
it does not hurt anything that it is available if wanted or needed.
As for BD, I think the perception is that MM is mainly targeting the high end
user, while the low end and middle is where most of us operate. For this area
BD fills a vacant spot.. It does have most of the functionality we use from day
to day, but it is not the end-all
Of course, we all realize that not all web sites are requiring rich media, flash
glitz, etc, and, in fact are much simpler in concept and layout. Of course, CSS
is being more widely used, and that alone helps a lot with load times, and site
appearance without having to copy and pase duplicate code all over the place.
CSS makes it easier to completely change the appearance of a site making it very
useful in development of multiople sites whose layout may be similar but still
have an individually desinged look and feel.
Many of the higher priority items which are so often overlooked is the ease of
use, user friendly navigation throughout the site. When every site you visit
have a different concept of navigation, use of popups, popunders, etc, seems to
turn a lot of visitors off and shortens both their visit time but their visit
frequency.
I personally have much admiraton for the develoeprs who do the sites for music
and artistic sites, because just like with their live performances flashy and
glitzy is what it is all about. On the other hand, many web sites, just by
their nature can be actually harmed by the addition of complicated flash, and
weird navigation schemes, and even more admiration must be given tothe developer
who can tell the difference and use it in theor approach to marketing their
skills.

Personally, the moment BlueDragon came out I thought.. "those guys actually
give us what the community always wanted". BlueDragon just filled up that spot
which has always been on the request list of many developers.
