I see ColdFusion is powerfull since we are using and seeing the power. Maybe it needs an IDE that improves code/architecture quality and productivity.
However it is really expensive for small and medium projects. Our company need to use other technologies for small/medium projects, so we have experience of other technologies. And we can continue to use the others for large projects... I mean there are strategical mistakes with CF prices currently which will probably cause to die of CF in the future. Macromedia should review the market and prices again and again...
