Promise I am not trying to start a flame war, just the reason behind this move (I've probably read your posts, but don't remember them). >From your comments are you implying "screw Adobe because their product sucks; I hate them". And that you just like BD because you prefer their product (and the direction they are going), rather than Adobe/ Macromedia? People jump various ships all the time, but just wanting to know your 'why'. ----
Ever since V6.0 we've had nothing but *expensive* problems with the product, and no one listening on the (then) Macromedia side of the publisher-developer relationship. Like a lot of ColdFusion developers, we had come to consider this as just par for the course, and like frogs slowly brought to the boil, we never realized just how bad it was until we started using BlueDragon.NET, and suddenly 95% of the problems disappeared. For the remaining 5%, it turns out they were there because NA was emulating MM's flawed design for certain functionality. But NA stepped up and solved this problem within hours. They listened, they worked with us, they got the job done -- and they did so with professionalism, a handshake, and a "thank you for working with us" attitude. Over the years I've also payed close attention to these two companies' political climates and the people that guide their technology focus, and I'm firmly convinced that NA is running just about everything correctly. My only pet peeve with NA -- and this totally stumps me to this day -- is why the hell they aren't screaming the truth from every rooftop: that BD.NET beats the pants off Adobe's product in reliability and performance, hands down. I've tried to imagine some clever evil genius hand-wringing strategy they might be playing out, but I'm stumped. Maybe they really are just very nice guys who don't want to step on any toes.
