the last couple of years. We upgraded to 5.0 and then I disappeared. I now
find myself with a huge void in knowledge of releases beyond 5.0. (Actually
a void of just how productive, i.e., functionality versus problems, 5.0 is)
Furthermore, it appears that a sizeable number of hosting services remained
at 4.5.1. Assuming that hosting services are driven by their customers
desires, this makes a good case that a lot of developers didn't see enough
value in anything beyond 4.5.1 to push for the later versions/releases.
One other observation is that CFTALK seems to be less active than it used
to be. That could be for several reasons, including that 1. 4.5.1 is a more
mature and sound product now, eliminating a lot of potential
problems/questions. 2. If the users are in fact staying with 4.5.1 then
those same users are more experience and naturally have few questions. 3.
Fewer people are starting to use CF?
I know that those, whose business depends on selling new versions/releases,
have to pitch improvements and advantages. But, it would appear the market
place is at best luke warm to recent and current CF Migration.
I assuming that the reasons are:
1. To many problems?
2. Benefits gained with newer products couldn't justify the prices?
3. Or, possible something I am missing?
My own observation, as shallow as it may be, is that the MX really doesn't
offer much of what we need, and the price is too high. But, I don't know
what I don't know. That is why I am asking.
Anyone care to comment?
Thanks,
Nick
