I heard you, Ray, if anyone can afford cf8 for his/her work like distributing his/here ware or is lucky enough to have a fat gig with the gov or something like that, by all means, they don't have to go the open source cfml engine and ajax route and then have to pull their hair out at some point to dive into the on-and-off js world like me. To be honest, I truly like cf8's ajax tags and functions, and I would say tags like the famed cfajaxproxy is awesome but in the mean time, don't mean to be rude, some of them is indeed bloated and you've offered rationale for that. Imho, Adobe Coldfusion8 has its market and so would the other guys too.
