What?! While I can see this this would make it more 'sellable' and feel
more comfortable to paranoid old-fashioned folk, it's certainly not a good
idea for people who are performance sensitive. The more interfaces you
have, the more of a performance hit you take.
I don't think lack of funding is the issue, JBoss is opensource so they
have to find their money in ways other than by selling their
product. Orion sells itself, and that will keep the developers fed and
clothed and active!
Incidentally, I'm a happy Orion customer, and have had pretty good
experience in terms of support...you just have to know how to ask!
