"I am/was just letting off some steam.." I actually think it's healthy that ppl aren't afraid to constructively critisize some product - less "us and them" (Microsoft arrogance), more fuel for improvements, work arounds, etc.
I remember when Spike was having a hell of a time with CF's XML implemementation (http://www.spike.org.uk/blog/index.cfm?do=blog.entry&entry=B495C724-D565-E33F-3A31D0EE819F1050), a place I used to work at dumped Verity in favour of Lucerne thanx to a CF7 (K2 really) issue, and in a similar manner, replaced cfdocument/cfreport with using the latest iText (Java) libraries. I could throw in lines about emperors and (missing) clothes and squeeky wheels getting the lube, etc...but you get the drift.
