"In fact most are doubling down on building teams to build and support Salesforce."

I'd sooner attribute that to Stockholm syndrome, in much the same way that Oracle shops tend to double down on Oracle products - not because Oracle products are actually good, mind you (they're absolutely abysmal, in my observation, and even the ones acquired from Sun are rotting corpses at this point, Java being perhaps the sole exception), but because it's cheaper to keep buying in than to break out of the vendor lock-in.
