texte = I'm installing a new copy of WebDNA 6.x under SuSE Linux Enterprise Server to manage our corporate websites (16 or so sites). We have two in-house developers (not including me). We've been limping along with 4.5 for Windows for more years than I care to remember, on a 433MHz desktop machine (running NT), and we gross over $750,000/year in direct sales on sites that are primarily a marketing tool, not a profit center. I don't know what is going on with SmithMicro and I don't know why 6.1 has been delayed for so long. At this point, however, I also don't care. We have made a significant investment in WebCatalog, both in the Enterprise license and more importantly in the development of our sites, and it has paid for itself *many* times over. We aren't moving away from WebCat any time soon. I am also somewhere between Hacker and Guru in the "Seven Stages of a Perl Programmer": http://jwenet.net/notebook/2005/1075.html and I know that a general purpose language like Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc, will never approach the ease of use a specialized eCommerce package like WebDNA _for_ecommerce_sites_. I've written (and recently rewritten using Mason[1]) a specialized site under Perl (a reports website for our publishers using browser client certs for authentication and authorization). I'm interested in Ruby-on-Rails[2], Catalyst[3], and other MVC[4] frameworks. I'm always open to using the best tools available. For our primary sites, that is still WebCatalog.
