Subject: Feedback to Jeff Whatcott - Macromedia
> Jeff Whatcott:
> I would like to add my thanks to Macromedia for listening to the CF
> community. It is rare, surprising, and the single most important action
> that has influenced my decision to continue to invest in CF. I cannot
> over emphasize that point. I hope your superiors hear this and continue
> to give you support when you listen to the CF community.
>
> I am one of your most valued customers. Why? Because I am not one of
> the hard core experienced CF developers that you have been hearing from
> on the CF-Talk list (although I hope to become one). I am an
> experienced software developer who is moving over to web development in
> a serious way, investing in training, selling clients on developing in
> CF, selling other programmers to join me in using CF to develop web
> applications. I am an evanglelist on the use of Macromedia's
> Dreamweaver and Fireworks products. I look forward to the integration
> aspects. I am out there selling CF every day.
>
> Shared hosting is a critical aspect for a large number of clients at
> this stage in the promotion and use of CF. On Sunday, I was holding my
> breath. I seriously thought that I might have to turn all of my
> investment around, cancel some CF projects, and move to other platforms
> (there is VERY high pressure from other teams of developers and clients
> to move to ASP). I chose CF over ASP for a variety of reasons. CF is
> the better choice in many cases. It is a very productive tool with a
> very short learning curve.
>
> My point is that there are many out there who are in my position, even
> more who WILL be in my position once Macromedia does a good job of
> promoting CF with their other products. Macromedia and CF are at a real
> cross-roads. I am bullish as can be on the merger. Macromedia crushed
> the competition in the web development tool market. MS isn't even in
> the running, not in the same universe. Anyone with any creative mind
> can see the huge opportunities for Macromedia to make CF a common
> standard for the general web development community, the quick
> integration of CF into other tools.
>
> Please send the message to stay the course and look at the long run.
> Your real revenue is with the mass market that Macromedia will capture
> with integrated tools, something Macromedia knows how to do. CF could
> end up being the David that beats Goliath.
>
> Humbly and respectfully,
> Eric Root
