[ via RC3.org ] It’s a telling quote:

“Want an example? ”We’re extremely committed to the Vignette platform,” says an Internet CEO to me a year ago who had recently signed a large six-figure check for the system. ”What does the Vignette platform do?” I asked him. After an uncomfortable 10 seconds, he moved his hands in circles and said, ”You know, puts the stuff up.””

Now those companies who wrote those six-figure checks Vignette are migrating back to templating systems built using open tools and commodity technologies. It’s worth mentioning that HTML::Mason started as an internal project and won a ‘bake-off’ against Story Server.
