seconded. I'm a late(ish) convert to CF (started with 6.0 from being a Microsoft guy) and lately I've been doing .NET stuff. I can't believe how backward the ASP.NET world is in picking up stuff that CF ppl have had for a while - esp by leveraging architecture ideas directly from Java. and all done from a dynamic language. I can give you example after example where money would have been saved/product delivered faster if this project was using CF instead of ASP.NET: CFDocumrent format="pdf", the CFPDF series of tags, CFPrint to a server's printer, the gateways (esp the directory watcher), and more.

I can't wait for CF9. the first job I find that will upgrade to it, I'm blowing this popsicle stand and saying goodbye to ASP.NET for good. Voting with my feet. – barry.b, on January 03, 2009 01:01
