Adobe has plenty of dog food, though - they have two CMS products that I'm aware of, both in J2EE. They have other products, like Contribute, which are arguably better suited to product information pages. They use CF and Flex in places (like the Adobe Exchange), and use other things in other places. And Adobe isn't adding new functionality to their site constantly - it's primarily an informational site, rather than an application. So, to me, saying "Adobe should use CF for their entire site" doesn't make a lot of sense. If I were an Adobe stockholder, I wouldn't want them to spend their money that way. I'm not, so I don't care much one way or the other.
