ColdFusion has been around for over 15 years and has survived two corporate takeovers. That is a remarkable accomplishment considering how many other products and technologies have not survived. ColdFusion must be doing something right. I usually mention this point when asked about the future of the platform. I also like to point to major recognizable high-traffic Web sites that use ColdFusion.
Another impressive accomplishment is that HomeSite is still very popular, years after the product was pulled from the market and with three alternative products actively trying to siphon off its user base. Nick Bradbury did an amazing job with HomeSite. -Mike Chabot On Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 8:14 AM, Scott Brady <dsbr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > To be fair to Adobe, two of the products you mentioned they killed off were > a result of the Macromedia purchase which led to them having duplicate > products (Dreamweaver vs. GoLive, Freehand vs. Illustrator, Fireworks vs. > ImageReady, etc.), so it made sense from a business standpoint to kill one > off.
