I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the differences between "a coding point
of view" and "functionality". At this stage of the process they're really
one and the same. Functionality that can't be achieved though convenient
means is just about useless for all but the most diehard coders. With the
current state of the two environment, ASP'S user defined functions rival
CF's simplicity in database connectivity in usefulness for anything but
the most trivial applications. The nice thing about CF is that it seems
to be moving quickly toward those areas most sought after by it's user
while Microsoft continues, as always, to say "fuck you" to it's
developers.
