<font size=3>I agree. The article claims they don't automate locking for
(1) performance issues. Well, if I do all the same locks by hand the
performance will be WORSE, and (2) to give the developer the option to do
less granular locks. How about giving me the option to set a manual lock
but otherwise automatically locking it?<br>
<br>
This issue is going to become a major problem as scores of
unsophisticated Cold Fusion developers create sites that crash. Cold
Fusion will get a reputation for being unstable NO MATTER that it is the
developer's fault.<br>

The development time saved on it will more than offset

I think this one issue is what made
Turbobasic and quickbasic such a <br>
hit in the 80s and early 90s and VB now. You didn't have to worry about
nit <br>
picky little things that could crash your program, but which would be
<br>
easily automated. Developers were free to just worry about the
logic.<br>

Do you agree with Allaire's reasoning?<br>
(By the way - I am a big fan of CF from way back in the 2.0
years..<br>

Yes, they explained why. See Allaire's recent paper,<br>
