Of course that is the point - everything leapfrogs each other (while, it seems, Java stays in the past...) Right now BOTH CF and .NET (and, I'll admit it, JSP and PHP) are very capable languages with a lot of useful abstractions. .NET, it might said, took much of it's inspiration from CF and in many areas topped it. (Remember all those ASP developers pining for debugging information "like I see in ColdFusion 3"?) It's not a statement of worth however, just a statement of... well, state. CFMX tops .NET in several areas but .NET definitely tops it in others. Blackstone will reverse some of this, but not all. The next version of the .NET will come out and leap frog (in places) again. The one that's currently "on top" doesn't really mean all that much to me as long as they're both moving in the right direction - and I think they both are.
