> Have you ever felt indignant, Dave? 

I'm not affiliated with Adobe or CFEclipse, but I would expect them both
to feel indignant after you basically said that all their hard work
wasn't very hard nor original.  

I would imagine CFB cost Adobe more than most of us realize.  Especially
if you take into account developers, project managers, QA, hardware, and
marketing costs together with the knowledge that Builder has been under
development since (if not prior) to being announced at Max 2008!!  Adobe
could have already easily poured 2 to 3 million dollars into this
project.  

In the past Adam has been very upfront with the fact that Adobe is
really looking at covering their costs:
"...we built this for the community, not to supplement ColdFusion
revenue. Adobe isn't looking for a pay day on CB... "

I don't know how much Adobe has really spent on CFB, nor how many
licenses they expect to sell, but my guess is that they will probably
have to sell upwards to 10,000 CFB licensees to START making a profit.
