I do contract work for a rather large oilfield company and have been doing so for several years. I really never get the impression that the costs of the CF software itself is an issue at all for anyone here. CF is the companies defined "standard" for web applications, yet ASPX projects repeatedly show up. The reason they show up is usually because they could not find people to do the CF work or at least that is the reason stated. I do know one of them showed up because the managers felt CF was the bottleneck and after spending countless hours having it remade in .NET, it came out really no faster or slower, their bottle neck was just elsewhere.
