>If VFE is functional, well designed, well documented, enhanced, flexible and powerful, supported by anyone and powerful as something that you can pick up for $600, then, there should'nt be other frameworks out there that are coming out.

Jess... I am sorry but this statement is REDICULOUS. I don't know how things work in your country, but in this one, there is a FREE market economy. If what you claim were true...

No cars would have been made after Fords Model-T
Burger King and Wendys would not exist because there was already McDonalds.

Even if there was a company that made the MOST PERFECT widget, are you going to tell me that no one else will want to cut into that market?

Look at what MS did when they saw how well Netscape was doing with their browser? Look at what MS did when they saw how well RealPlayer was doing in the market. Look at what happened when everyone realized ICQ was the only player.

Yes... I'll admit, alot of products come into the market becuase they thing they are BETTER than their competition, but alot come in because...

1. They see room in the market
2. They want to undercut the competition
3. They think there is room for a LOW qulity product
4. They think there is room for a product with less features

So, if you are judging the quality of a product by the fact that competitors are jumping into the market, you are WAY OFF!

> I did know some foreign developers here in our country ( Canadians and >Americans as well ), and they prefer CB Mortals than VFE for you info and to >answer your next statement.

Good for you! Mike NEVER said that VFE was the best product for every one, even though I am sure he thinks that. All he said was... This 'one client' decided that VFE was the coice for them over hodgepogeWork.
