An article in the Red Herring discusses Allaire’s very successful IPO, and then contrasts them with Vignette. I do think that Allaire will be very successful, because they make great products. Cold Fusion is very easy to use, and seems to be gaining a lot of traction in the market. However, Cold Fusion is not competitive with Vignette’s product, Storyserver, in any meaningful way, which is why the article is interesting. It’s apparent that the person who wrote the story has never used the products in question.
