I really don't agree that Contribute competes with CF developers, at least 
not most of them.  Contribute's main market is to replace the people that 
use Dreamweaver templates to manage their sites.

A small shop with a web site or intranet with 2-5 content developers can 
put up a pretty decent site that is easily edited by end-user content 
providers for $500-$800 (1 dreamweaver plus 1-4 contribute).  However, 
hiring a developer to create a content management system for you, even 
simple, is going to cost minimum $5000-$1000 and more likely $20-100k.

Now, if your business is $500 websites, then sure Contribute might be 
competition, but I would imagine it's hard to make a living off $500 
websites.  In any case, if that is your business, then you may be able to 
attract a lot of new customers by becoming a Contribute reseller and 
specializing in setting up the initial site and templates and then hand it 
over to the customer--including the annoying maintenance.  I agree-- </hassle>
