I've been using CF with New England Financial (www.NEF.com) for six years now. We were recently bought by MetLife - that's the only reason that CF has been sidelined (in favor of MetLife-favored tools like WebSphere). NEF is/was the oldest Mutual Life Insurance company in the US (MetLife has since demutalized) and focuses on the service-heavy wealthy individual/small business owner market. Several million products, several hundred-thousand customers... CF handles everything with aplomb (well CF and a mainframe DB2 system replicating to SQL Server...) I also worked (for a short time) on a CF project for John Hancock and have worked on CF projects for the Virginia State Police (through Litton-PRC). Several smaller companies that we work with such as Nathan and Lewis also use CF. One thing in the financial industry however is that we NEVER (NEVER EVER EVER) upgrade. I've not encountered a financial client using anything newer than CF 4.5. We're still using CF 4.5 on NT 4.0 with SQL Server 6.5 - that's pretty common.
