I dunno if I'd call my experience with it "delightful" but given the short time I had with it, it seemed pretty decent. > It's unnecessary to voice your obviously negative opinion of a product > without any sort of request to do so.

I thought about venting about it on the Farcry list, but figured I would be booted in no time for not being a member of the choir. Not wanting to burn bridges, I chose not to. As for venting here without being asked, I thought this was a list that encouraged all kinds of discussion about CF and related applications. I'm not openly bashing FarCry. I do dislike it for many reasons, but I will refrain from making slanderous remarks about it. I will make two comments about it here and leave it at that for now... 1. It's VERY slow. Even on very fast hardware, it's extremely slow. 2. If it had even half the documentation that Commonspot had, I would probably still be using it. The new developer guide that was put out fell very short of being useful, and the Wiki is hard to find help in as well. In addition, even posting to the -Dev list was fairly futile. I finally abandoned FarCry for Joomla. Granted it's php-based, but it's extremely fast and so far seems much easier to work with. The back-end alone is worth its weight in gold. It's lightyears ahead of FarCry. Oh wait, that makes it three things, sorry. :) Rob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:297798 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
