I think it's the fame and the money. (stolen line from H2G2, but it
seemed to fit so perfectly!)
Really I just want to switch because, WHY NOT give it a shot. If I can
employ the free version when the application doesn't need any more than
that, then I can get people on smaller projects who wouldn't normally
consider ColdFusion due to cost that they can go with CF by using BD. As
far as I'm concerned, the more sites built in CFML the better. Whether
they run on CFMX or BD is largely irrelevant to us as developers on the
whole. The point is that some people pass on using CF in favor of PHP or
ASP due to cost, so now that I have a chance to test it out, I'll be in
a better position to advise people on how to use BD to develop a site in
CFML without worrying about the expense of the application server. The
CF dev community can only benefit from this, as all of those people who
have used the cost argument to say that ASP is better have now just lost
a large part of their argument.
Also, like I said, I've had a few little issues with some of my
functions in BD and I'm sending them over to the guys at NewAtlanta
today, but I'm actually liking it quite a lot so far. Even the problems
I've had have been pretty simple to fix.

Why switch to begin with? Do you need functionality in BD that is not in
CFMX, or is it the price of the license?
