@Jep- for what it’s worth, plenty of Spry developers are using the framework independently of Adobe tools/products. Sure, we integrate tightly with our own authoring/server products, but the Spry framework has it’s own dev team, and out in the public for almost a year before DW/CF support for it was introduced. There’s far more lurking underneath the hood in Spry than either DW or CF leverages today.

I wonder if ColdFusion is also tactical…

@ Philippe: Spry is only tactical for Adobe, while Flex is strategic, so it doesn’t surprise me that Adobe also uses other Ajax projects such as YUI and Prototype. With Flex they want to totally dominate the market for plug-in based solutions, while the Ajax-based Spry is merely an add-on for Dreamweaver and ColdFusion.

@Jc: They do unless you’re typing so fast and completely overlook the little red line below the misspelled word. ;) Thx again.

Since I’m playing grammar police today… second sentence “enhanement” and third sentence “utlity”.

FYI: Tools->Options->Advanced->General->”Check my spelling as I type” comes in handy. :)

I wonder when Adobe will use Spry themselves…

Their brand new devnet is based on Prototype+YUI:

I wonder if ColdFusion 8 can be updated with this release of Spry?
