Another attractive option to Adobe CF is Coral Web Builder from pcaonline.com.
It has more features than CF 4.5 (don't they all!) but not as many as Adobe CF 7. However, it does support UDFs It seems to have some advanced features and an upcoming release, (perhaps it's the current version) will support CFC's... however, I won't be using CFC's for the immediate future. I've got too much work to do right now to slow down and work on a new dev style. Something else to consider, too... as far as support goes... I emailed the Coral Web Builder folks and asked about the lack of ParseDateTime functionality, which I require. I got an email back in a few minutes saying that if it would help produce a sale ($225 for Coral Web Builder) they would add that functionality at NO CHARGE. Trying getting something like that from Adobe! No server licenses, either... just purchase one $225 single developer license. Plus, I can distribute the CF app on CD at no charge, for training programs, and stand-alone apps for my clients who would like CF running in-house for the apps I build. That removes the problem of the cost of setting up a server with CF for clients who need it running in-house instead of across the Internet for office applications. Very attractive... Anyone using or tried Coral Web Builder?

And I haven't given up on Smith. Actually, the moment I saw their website I emailed them to give them encouragement, and to find out if there was a way (other than having to remember to check their website every so often) that I could keep up with their progress. I received nothing in return, but my hopes for it aren't dashed entirely. :o) I'd really like an open source CFML parser for some of my smaller clients.
