Re: why I love coldfusion...and not .net

[Morgan Senkal]

VB6 was where I came from...I loved the language and the IDE.  However when I first encountered CF, i realized I could do everything I wanted to do as far as web development faster, easier and have a lot more fun with CF than I ever could with VB.  I have not had a chance to take a close look at asp.net, but all I can say is if you can actually debug it now it's a big improvement.  I would jump on the asp.net wagon if I had the time or the training budget allowed to me :-)  But CF will always be first in my book for quick and dirty RAD web projects.  When I start having to do some major integration with some of the other systems, I will be looking at asp...but only where it's needed.
