Correct, just like Dreamweaver, FrontPage, etc. are a nice set of tools
for building web pages. They are a pretty GUI for building web sites.

The path of least resistance is the one most often travelled. A choice
between a point and click interface v. real work..hmmmm...guess which gets
chosen.
Also, don't forget that the PHB's love the fact that CF is a commercial
product with support.

Pretty much mine as well. I like the idea of a PerlFusion package...
