This is really what's happening here. Nothing to do with ColdFusion
specifically. Every product has a natural cycle of evolution progressing
into commoditization. This is where CF is now. This cannot be "fixed" by
Adobe or anyone. It just *is*.

Adobe will continue charging for it, and continue developing it, for as
long as they are making money off it as a product. It's a complete delusion
to believe that the former excitement around CF during it's glory years can
be recreated.

It's a good banana among a boatload of other perfectly good bananas being
traded on an imaginary software commodity exchange.
