Without reading that clown, I can echo Nick's experience here in KC too. Our company just approved a 5 year contract which will see all of our legacy CF programs re-written in .NET, removing the last of the CF remnants from our apps.
Ex-coworkers of mine who went for new jobs the last few years around here were required to learn either Java or ASP.NET for their new positions. They were basically hired only because the company had faith in their ability to transition from CF to another language. Do these trends make CF worthless or ineffective? Hardly. I still think CF can be one of the best application languages out there.....but locally anyway, it's becoming more and more scarce. Just an unfortunate reality i'm afraid.
