I don't care if it is JSP... they should adopt the technology at the speed
they expect us to! They have had plenty of time to do this. (And this is not
a tough application... please!) This one is fair.
Perhaps if you were maintaining a 40,000 page website with extremely large applications on it, you'd appreciate why there is still some legacy technology on macromedia.com - the wishlist form has been on macromedia.com since before Macromedia bought Allaire, BTW.
To get off BroadVision for instance, we had to rewrite every single BV application using ColdFusion - at the same time as we were developing new applications (in CF) and migrating all of the legacy Allaire codebase (CF4.5, CF5, Spectra - all on Windows) to the "Dylan" platform (the Apache / CFMX / Oracle / Solaris platform behind macromedia.com). Over the last couple of years, we've written about a quarter of a million lines of new ColdFusion code (and over 100,000 lines of ActionScript as well!). We still have work to do...
Applications are chosen for migration based on business drivers - and expending resources converting a small web form (that works just the way it is) doesn't get as high a priority as some other things. We *are* redeveloping the feedback system (the "Send Feedback" link at the bottom of every web page - currently a Perl CGI) in CF because we want to be able to manage customer feedback more easily - so there is a business case for rewriting that in CF (using Mach II in fact) and providing a data management back end.
