Agreed... And from that I will add that I am about to release in the next few weeks a CFReport clone, based of a java open source project the technology I chose actually rocks, and compared to Crystal Reports it rocks and the designer is by far the best I have seen even better than JasperReports and that is saying something.
I not only wrote this in JSTL, and as a servlet, but it took me very little time that we are going to use across all our projects plus more. As far as PDF, and flex goes there are plenty of open source alternatives that are going to kill Coldfusion. Adobe needs to do something and do it fast, otherwise there will be very little usage as far as Coldfusion goes in the market place.
