The bulk of this thread is about how CFB is too expensive. And here you are, telling Adobe they should spend more money replacing things that function adequately with new things, just for marketing. They're not going to do that anyway, but it's a pretty silly suggestion. > I'm not sure why you're trying to be obtuse here Dave.

"Well how > good can CF really be if Adobe doesn't even use it on pages about CF?" Adobe > has enough issues with the industry taking CF seriously, why fuel the fires? Believe it or not, Adobe has a lot of things that are probably more important to them than "giving CF competitors ammo". I've never - NEVER - heard from a prospective client that Adobe doesn't use it exclusively on their many, many web properties. The only place I've heard that is here, on this list, where everyone knows best how to run Adobe. Adobe has two different CMS products, Day Software and Alfresco (which they license as part of the LiveCycle product suite). Should they replace everything with one of those instead? Do you think that companies evaluating those products care whether they're used for all of Adobe's web sites?
