OK, I'm confused. At the beginning of this thread, your complaint was that .NET had better features and performance than CF. Now, it's that you can't find CF jobs as easily as .NET ones. What exactly is the relationship between the two? Before .NET was available, there were more "classic" ASP jobs than CF jobs too. I'm sure there were more J2EE development jobs than CF jobs as well. What do you want? CF is a niche product! It always has been! And it probably always will be. I would expect that there will always be more J2EE and .NET web development jobs than CF ones. That has damn all to do with the comparative quality of these products, and everything to do with the fact that everyone's heard of .NET and Java, and that no one gets fired for buying from MS or SUN. How exactly can Macromedia remedy this? If they gave their product away, would that be good enough for you? That is, setting aside the fact that they'd have to fire the CF development team after that. Macromedia doesn't make OSs or hardware, so they simply don't have something they can give away to increase sales of something else.
