All I wanted to do was automate the creation of relative Playlists for my
WMA library (by default Windows Media player saves playlists with absolute
paths). So now (in my off hours) I'm learning enough Windows Scripting Host
stuff to be able to do that. It's not super hard, but it would be much
nicer to be able to build such a dealy-o in CFML.
That being said I'm not sure that this is the "right" implementation for
that. I love the idea of using CFML as the scripting glue for desktop
automation chores but the concept of a full (even if hidden) webserver,
application engine, etc does seem a bit heavy.
I guess what I'm saying is that I wasn't seeing this tool as specifically an
application development tool, but rather an automation scripting tool. CFML
and CFOBJECT could do most, if not all, of what WSH does now - if it ran
that way.

I agree. As I see it Coral is means to creating a desktop app by either
reusing code from a web site (which it can't do completely) or leveraging CF
devs who don't know any other language.
Either way, I think it's the wrong user experience. Web apps are a
compromise for the user and developer already because of the limitations of
the web. Why put a compromised app on the desktop where you could have
leveraged the full capabilities of the platform?
<devil's advocate>
Because the client won't spend the money/time on creating a desktop version
of what they've already got.
</devil's advocate>
Basically I see it offering an option to accomodate a bad situation. It may
not be a good option, but it's one more than before.
