Hi, Gert... Yes, you're right that there are benefits to Railo that CF 8 doesn't have concerning administration.
But, I know for me, one killer function that is missing is the support for CFX tags. Why is that? I heard that mentioned more than once as a big problem? Is support for tags that difficult?

We haven't flushed the cache so we had some Errors regarding our current level of compatibility. Thanks for the information. And I must add that we have some CF8 features in it as well. We will try to get as close as possible to CF8 with the Railo 2.1 release in Q1 2008. But anyhow. Each engine has their target market. We target customers that look for a lightweight engine with an extreme good performance. In my opinion there is no licensing model that makes Railo more expensive than CF8 (except upgrade price from CF7 to CF8) You say you pay more for less. But of course this is a point that can be discussed. We have some features other engines dont have. For example resources. http://www.railo.ch/en/index.cfm?treeID=339 And some more like: - different settings for each web context. - Railo archives - Server Administrator - Performance So I guess you don't get the full deal with 300$ more than with Railo Pro unlimited.
