I expect that most plugins are started to satisfy a particular requirement and once that aim is achieved, there's little incentive to develop further. Indeed, development for other users' needs can quickly take over, so I'm not at all surprised that many plugins become orphaned. All the more reason to make a donation if a particular developer keeps going and his output is useful.

Regarding the contact form, I agree that it's not very 'point and click' with my solution, but now that I know it reasonably well, it's easy to provide a good, reliable contact form, with proper sanity checking of field content, blacklisting and real checks of e-mail addresses (both syntax and the existence of MX records). In other words, it's a robust solution that I can comfortably deploy and sleep easy.

For me, there are some big problems with phpform.info, the biggest being that there is only the most basic of input checking. I agree that I'm not familiar with it, but it took me a long time to work through a very basic form and I wasn't very happy with the code at the end.

But that's the great thing about choice. ;-)

Its by Invent Partners http://www.inventpartners.com/free-php-form-processor this thing has proved to be outstanding. You can use one processor for multiple forms, everything is contained in the form input tags so if you want a field to be required you just add a req_ to the front of the name like name="req_email" you can add all fields straight through the html so if you have your form in a component adding a field is a copy, paste and edit.

There are no added javascript to any of the fields except the form container which just calls the validation script added to the header.

Comes with field highlighting validation and the success and fail messages are just text in a php file so sticking a meta redirect can easily send visitors to a built in Page. Its about the best form processor I have came across that s not in a plugin state. All my forms route through to the same processor and hasn't failed yet. There is no Captcha which for me is good since most people hate that kind of validation anyway and can hinder real people trying to make contact. I'd highly suggest trying it out.
