Anyway, my two cents..Flames will follow, I am sure. However, I really don't care. You can say that again. Snake, it has nothing to do with the little or big guy. They're just dysfunctional overall. I work for a company that ran and developed (notice past tense) the largest CF site on the planet (in terms of traffic). Adobe and Macromedia were both completely unresponsive to performance issues and bugs in their CF product. Furthermore, their support staff gave us whatever BS they could to get us off the phone on many occasions. Quite franly, it only got worse after Adobe took over. The biggest part of Adobe's response to our problems was a "screw you" via an unsubstantiated audit. Shortly after that we went entirely .NET and now serve MORE traffic with half the servers which use < half CPU that the CF boxes did. So, Adobe can drop off the face of the planet for all I care. They've done quite 'enough' for ColdFusion as far as I am concerned. Quite frankly, they've dropped the ball with the product, their developers and their clients. I hope Adobe does drop the CF ball entirely and it goes open source. At least that would put an end their crappy support and mostly senseless tag based "improvements" and developers could control their own destiny. The open source community could have done much better with the product over the last few years and Novell's support contracts would be able to run circles around Adobe's "support". As far as Corfield is concerned, meh. Warmest Regards, Phillip B.
