If that's an example of foolishness, I'd be curious to see what a smart move
looks like.

The transition to J2EE was the best thing ever to happen to CF. I think this
prevented the product from becoming a dead end. J2EE can run practically
anywhere, and as a result so can CF. J2EE provides all sorts of
functionality that didn't exist for CF 5 and earlier. J2EE compatibility
makes it very simple to extend CF with Java.

But most importantly, J2EE compatibility is a big selling point for
organizations that have moved to J2EE as a standard - and there are a lot of
these.
