Damon,
I think your compatibility point is well taken. But it would carry much more
weight when delivered by people outside of either camp. For example what a
Mike Dinowitz or Hal Helms or Howie Hamlin have to say about the
compatibility being substantially different or substantially the same,
simply because they aren't identified as being in one camp or another.
*Of course*, a MACR person is going to say that that difference makes a
difference. And of course, a NA person is going to say that the few
differences are differences that make no difference.
Better to present the argument as you did in your third paragraph and let
us, the paying public, decide whether the differences are substantial
*important* or not :)
other than that, I was happy to hear how much effort is going into the
CFMX/CF5 compatibility issue. And if BlueDragon is the fire under that pot,
then it just goes to show that some competition is healthy!
By the way, I'm dying to know what a "cess pool" test is!
oh, one last comment:
you'd said:
> There are language nuances, implied behaviors and hundreds of language and
server subtleties that make only ColdFusion MX "compatible" with >CF5.
Now are you SURE you want to make that sort of point? This is the same sort
of approach that got us ListLen("a,b,,,c") = 3
Secret hand signs, mumbled invocations, and the blood of a chicken might
keep the savages in line, but it rarely attracts new converts among folks
who think for themselves. :)
Give us documented features and explicit behaviour on a stable product,
that's what CF people want.
