The reasons that I decided to turn to CF are:
1) While ASP is great for complex programming tasks, it is awkward and
unwieldy for simple tasks such as merely presenting data from a database.
2) Whilst considering CF, I also took a brief look at PHP3, although I
found that this would not be suitable for my needs, as its integration with
MySQL is too complex. I also primarily work on a Windows based platform and
therefore prefer the ODBC support offered by this system.
3) Finally, CF actually looks *fun* to use! It has a good structured
development environment (CF Studio) which is where ASP sorely falls short -
although there are rumours that MM Ultradev will go some way to resolving
this.

I'm sure everyone wants to know... what are the specific reasons you decided
on CF?
