But wouldn't it be somewhat fair to say that commercial vendors (in general) see a role for OSS while OSS people see little value in commercial products? Most avid OSS folks I know think that commercial products gum up the works... and yes, they are often full of vitriol about it on lists, blogs etc. No one get's their ire up quite like a geek who feels like he has the answers. Maybe I'm shielded but I don't see near the level of anti-OSS verbiage out there. Do you?

Who has been abusive toward Adobe? I've seen some people question their commitment to the product because of a perceived lack of marketing muscle. And there was a big discussion about pricing on CFBuilder. Most of both of those discussions, however, came from Adobe CF license holders. The folks I've seen on the Railo lists and the CFEclipse lists tend to mostly ignore Adobe except in such instances where they need to discuss compatibility, language choices made by Adobe, etc. Go take a look at the archives of the lists for those groups and you'll see that almost none of the discussion has anything to do with Adobe, let alone be negative about them. Those groups are all about moving open source CFML offerings forward, not slagging off on Adobe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341072 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
