All branches of our government use CF extensively. The military uses it all over the place.
Johns Hopkins uses it. Someone didn't do their research. Simply type ".cfm" into google and it's really telling. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 2:42 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Is CF dying?

Also, most of BOA isn't >ColdFusion. Their most important functionality isn't ColdFusion, IIRC. This is a little misleading... most large companies use, in reality, just about everything. It's almost more difficult to find a technology NOT in use (by some group or another) at a fortune 50 company. For example MetLife, Prudential and John Hancock (to name a few that I'm familar with) all use CF in mission-critical, non-legacy internal applications - but none of them claim CF as an "enterprise platform". Yes, it would be nice to see all of their public websites done in CF... but this isn't the way of the business world. Instead big companies consult with big companies to get "unbiased" opinions on their needs and then told to go with that companies product. In other words it's not that CF can't do the job or that CF isn't used: it's that Adobe's consulting services are no match for IBM and MS. CF is also hamstrung in a lot of ways by it's price: it's too cheap. I've been told right out that CF "isn't expensive enough to be enterprise capable".
