Maybe some people stick with it because they have a bunch of customers and
code on it? And it's free and freely modifiable. It isn't exactly Windows for Workgroups. Sure the thing was written on 4.5.1 and doesn't take advantage of the newer stuff. With minimal modification of tags you can implement things like QoQ and UDF (etc, etc). Ultimately I'd like to switch to something else, but that means convincing customers to pay for a switch.

You certainly are lucky. But really, when CFC's came out did you run right
out and rewrite most or all of your old code (which was working fine)? Or did you wait until you were in a revision cycle? When you're doing things for yourself (like I do in my side business) it is easy to be an early adopter. But in a large organization like my regular job is you don't have that luxury. We have to plan budgets for development a year in advance and justify everything. It took us almost 2 years to upgrade from CF 5 to CFMX. We have reduced that time and the upgrade from CFMX 6.1 to 7 has only been around 6 months or so.

If the current system is meeting their current and near-future needs then it isn't always easy to convince them to migrate to something else.

I still have to use spectra, small company and time/money to move across are
my barriers but Glamour here I come soon with any luck... But I don't get why people are so down on spectra, it still works ok on CF 7 and while a bit eccentric still does what it says on the tin.
