Responding to both you and Dave:
So, let me see if I understand, this.
All the wonderfulness of CF (RADD, power, db manipulation, ease of
learning, ease of maintenance, etc.) is up to the task of serving many
concurrent users on a complex web application,
But, CF is *not* up to the task of a single user desktop application?
To write a simple desktop application it is necessary to go to a more
difficult language such as C#, or Java, or Perl?
Then I must program a semi-custom UI for each platform?
Doesn't "Scales Well" mean scales down as well as up?
What am I missing?
I think it is the law of Prometheus (or is it Occam's razor) that says:
The simplest way is the best way!
