Executive Summary

• Respondents—largely experienced ColdFusion developers—believe Allaire can improve its performance in the next year, but the degree of confidence is hardly overwhelming. There is moderate support for an Allaire focus on Java-based tools, though many respondents were unclear on Allaire’s vision and plans along these lines.

• While there is very solid support for ColdFusion and JRun as tools that should figure into Allaire’s strategy, there is only weak support for Spectra. In fact, almost a third of the respondents indicated that Spectra should not even be an equal participant in Allaire’s product strategy.

• Both COM and EJB appear to play an underwhelming role in developers’ plans for the near future.
