a single-vendor solution--such as Allaire/Macromedia ColdFusion--would you?
What about the problems that arise when you put all your eggs in one basket?
With BlueDragon, you get:
- The freedom to choose either Java or .NET.
- The freedom to deploy on any J2EE server in a standard WAR/EAR format.
- The freedom to deploy on Mac OS X as a fully supported platform.
- The freedom to, well, deploy for free.
If it's freedom that you're primarily interested, then I assume BlueDragon
is your preferred CFML server?

I don't mean to burst your little BlueDragon pitch, but what about
the
problems that arise when you put all your eggs in one basket? I'd
rather rely on different companies for different parts of the
application, rather than just assume MS can do it better than anyone
else, which is rarely the case. I think the freedom to switch core
technologies like JVM and JDBCs as a positive thing.
What sort of benefits are thier in giving up the freedom to move
platmforms?
