there might be more openings...but there also might be more developers
to fill those openings (which isn't necessarily a bad thing...)

as far as the number of CF openings...i was recently in the job market
and was pretty pleasantly surprised.  Had a few interviews in FL
(where I was living at the time), a phone interview with a company in
CT, applied to a job in DC, and interviewed with/accepted a job in CA
(oh yeah, and emailed a guy in Omaha) :)

and the fact of the matter is i wasn't even looking too terribly hard
(I got -very- lucky in that the first job I applied to was the one I
really wanted...so I checked out a few other places just so as to not
put all my eggs into one proverbial basket).  If I really started
sending out resumes and scouring the job boards, I'm sure I would have
had a lot more opportunities available to me (I did see quite a few in
NC as well as a few other locations that I didn't apply to).

basically...i felt as tho I had my choice as to where in the US I
wanted to live, and still be able to work with CF.

so there may very well be more Java/.NET openings...but the ratio of
developer to available opening has to play a factor as well.
