I think we can all agree on one thing ... we're all intimately drawn to development as it relates to the Web. Whether it be DotNet, Cold Fusion, PHP, Python, whatever ... the end result - the function of our application - is what counts.
I've been developing sites with Cold Fusion since CF 3. When our company decided to go the DotNet path, I had the opportunity to study and utilize Visual Studio in building DotNet apps - and have developed a love/hate relationship with DotNet. I prefer CFML and now that New Atlanta has developed Cold Fusion to run under the DotNet framework, I may be able to persuade management to continue supporting my development in CFML in addition to some apps collaborated on in DotNet (other two developers (one VB.Net, other C#.Net) are opposed to learning CFML). At the very least - I've picked up an additional skillset to help me build apps - something which will be beneficial to the company I work for, my own firm, and/or the next company I work for (have worked for current company for 7 years). In my opinion - the bottom line is ... what can you efficiently design/develop that will make your company successful in terms of recurring revenue. Whether the tools you use are a mix of VB.net, C#, Cold Fusion, PHP, MySQL, SqlServer, Flash, Javascript, Java - doesn't matter in my opinion so long as the end result brings in dollars and the application is built to scale (code comments and docs don't hurt). All the best ...
