CF predates ASP and ASP.NET by many years. I suspect that if this were not the case, there would be far fewer CF programmers. I remember when Windows NT Magazine put up their web site, using CF, because that's what was available. During CF's existence, Microsoft has promoted about four different ways to develop web applications; there were two technologies prior to classic ASP. As for saying Oracle/DB2/MySQL are a lot better than MS SQL Server, not so much. SQL Server is far, far easier to configure, manage and maintain than Oracle and DB2, and has tons of functionality; MySQL is just catching up. Overall, for many CF developers, MS SQL Server is arguably the best option.
