I can offer a slightly different perspective. I've been working .NET for the past 3 months. I'm amazed at how much control you have over certain things.
I think when it comes to creating XML, it beats ColdFusion hands down. I had to write some code to migrate legacy data into a new system, and I must say that it was about 100 times quicker than similar ColdFusion code I had written. I was able to perform all the translation in memory and then submit all 3000+ rows to the database in one swoop. In this case, .NET was much quicker than CF would have been. CF is easier for 90% of web development tasks, though. Sometimes I'm amazed at how difficult some of the most common tasks are.
