Very true. The way I see it, is that if a competing engine had all the features of Adobe's product plus a few enhancements of their own, then the switch would be moderately painless (with a few exceptions). We keep talking about tags and functions that are missing in these competitors (Smith & Railo) but there is alot of other stuff such as failover, load balancing, clustering & flash integration that are going to be big players in people making a switch, unless you are talking about the mom & pop clients. There is indeed alot of growing room for these two competitors. I really do not care what anyone says, you cannot take something that is only a couple years old and turn it into something that has over ten or more years head start on you overnight.
