Enjoyed reading all the comments in this thread. It's good to see that ColdFusion still has a lot of great advocates out there! I've gotten some inquiries in the last few months if I would be converting CFWebstore to .Net or PHP since CF is "dying" (again??) and my response has always been that my sales don't reflect that and that CF is just ideal for my product. The last thing I personally want to do is try to jump to a different market where there are already a huge number of competing apps with a big head start, and currently I don't see any need for it. So many people setting up stores just don't have a lot of programming expertise, they mainly just know HTML and CF is just ideal for them to have to learn the basics of, enough to do simple edits...such as you very commonly need to do with any canned application. In fact, I just got an email yesterday from a user who raved about how easy it was for him with no CF experience at all to get his store set up and customized for his exact needs. As much as I'd like to take all the credit for that (lol) it definitely says a lot about CF and how perfect it is for these kinds of off-the-shelf products. Really the only limitation I run into sometimes is with a customer that already has hosting somewhere, and they don't offer CF support.
