Free ColdFusion could work. It would have to work for Adobe too though. How about adding one more level...
ColdFusion Basic FREE no cfmail, cfchart, cfr's, cfc's, cfforms, no mysql support (essentially the old free version of Blue dragon). License limited to one domain. ColdFusion Standard (renamed professional?) 1200 (although 900 looks better) ColdFusion Enterprise $5000 Adobe would benefit from increased market/developer share as more people became acquainted with the power and simplicity of ColdFusion, then the benefit of ColdFusion "Professional" for 1200 would be easy to grasp. And once a company needs enterprise level software, $5k is not much, especially if all your apps already run on coldfusion.

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.
