Never being ones to not paint lofty dreams of future products, but Microsoft is obviously intending their Avalon GUI system to take over from web applications in that it can be used to develop RIAs.

One of the main benefits that I think ColdFusion has over .NET is the fact that it is a Macromedia product. Macromedia is (for now) the undisputed king of Rich Internet Applications. With Flex and Flash defining the landscape of this part of the internet, having a backend that is almost seamlessly integrated with these two technologies is extremely useful. As Flex matures, I think that many of its most powerful features will leverage ColdFusion. It will be ColdFusion helping to power many of Macromedia's RIAs in the future, so it makes sense to add that as a plus to the CF side. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
