Hmmm... So CFEclipse must not be a good tool then. Open Office must not be good. Winamp, the Flash player, Linux. All of those must be total trash because they're free.
The point I'm wanted to make is that I love ColdFusion and want it to succeed. Some clients/companies simply can't get past the fact that CF costs $1200 minimum to get into ColdFusion when PHP is "free". You and I both know the pros and cons to "free" software like PHP, but the client doesn't see past the dollars signs. And by the way...I said ColdFusion should be free...my names Andy Matthews. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

Are cars and houses free? Are bread and milk free? Do you work for free? If you think everything should be free, then you need to stop billing your clients for work, or stop accepting paychecks from your employer. Or maybe it's that YOU get to charge money for YOUR services, but you shouldn't have to pay anyone else for their services... is that it? Maybe some day, in some bright and shining utopian wonderland, everything will be free. In the meantime, do those of you who constantly bitch about everything costing money know ANYTHING about BUSINESS at all? I cannot believe that someone on this list actually said they think CF should be free! As far as FlexBuilder goes, I think $2000 would still be a bargain. As someone once said, "If you can't run with the big dogs, then stay on the porch!" Or, if you can't afford to buy good tools, there are always the free ones. But quit complaining that good tools cost money -- they always have and they always will. I just needed to vent. The best to you all.
