IBM are also solidly behind ColdFusion MX: http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/coldfusionmx/ Anyone who attended JavaOne - *the* conference for enterprise Java (and, this year, mobile Java!) - will have heard Richard Green (Sun) mention the role of ColdFusion MX in bringing Java to a broader market (enabling the "corporate developer") and Scott McNealy (Sun) welcome ColdFusion MX into the "Java Verified" application community (as well as mentioning JRun for it's J2EE certified status). > We also think that it is great to have competing versions > of cfml providing we don't end up in a situation where something where > an > app created for ColdFusion will not run on BD and vice-versa. Well, that's already the case because Blue Dragon doesn't support many of the ColdFusion MX features and Blue Dragon has introduced a number of incompatible extensions. The companies that support large enterprise development (e.g., IBM, Sun) recognize Macromedia's ColdFusion MX as a standards-compliant product that they promote.
