I was last week at a show where they showed ColdFusion and demoed a new module which they developed in 3 month !!! Same modules can be build with WebDNA in 4 weeks or so.

Over here (Europe) people don=B9t want to hear about ecommerce anymore, they all want to know how a application can connect to their backend and how to maintain their website, data and so on. The commerce part is nice to have but not the main point anymore. I will even say, that PHP got so big, because they have a complete SQL (MySQL) integration done. This is mostly all what people care about. Sad bu= t true. Don=B9t get me wrong, but did you ever try to sell a very big company a WebDN= A solution based on the flat files system. We have lost 4 pitches because of that. They all went with a system (less featured packed as ours) with a SQL database (because of their backends).
