It's neither dramatic nor disingenuous. You think it's obvious that the marketing value of rewriting dozens or more web applications would outweigh the cost. I disagree. Apparently, so does whoever makes these decisions at Adobe. > You also keep saying how you don't know Adobe's business yet you have no > problem telling others that their opinions about how Adobe does business is > out to lunch. So which is it? I think you should read what I wrote more carefully. You're saying that they should do something other than they're doing. You're the one telling them how to run their business. I'm not. I assume that they know their business better than you or I do. If it were my business, I'd probably do the same thing, but that's really irrelevant. > Also, how do you know this is the ONLY place that's ever noticed the Adobe > isn't running on CF?

I think you should safely assume that whenever anyone talks about absolutes, they're speaking about their own experiences. If I say that the sun comes up every day, I'm speaking about my experience. That said, I do spend quite a bit of time talking to other people about CF, and participating in other developer communities. I'm on all sorts of mailing lists. I've been working with CF for more than ten years. I've presented CF solutions for conferences, etc. I teach a lot of classes, for CF and other things, and I tell my students about CF whether it's a CF class or not. So I think I probably have a decent amount of exposure to the rest of the world. And this is the only place where it comes up. I also do a lot of work for Google, who does in fact have the intertubes indexed.
