As it was my post you replied to, I will point out that I am not doing CF vs ..NET at all, in fact I was pointing out that you can write CFML on the .NET platform using BlueDragon so you don't really have to worry about which one to use in that environment, you can use both. I don't personally have antyhing against .NET, and if I were not a CF developer I would most likely be doing .NET anyway, I think it's a great framework.

This CF vs. .Net presentation mailing thread has been in active contribution most of the past week. I have seen heated debates and acknowledgements on both sides. In essence, what is the result for this thread? Are people trying to argue that one technology is a silver bullet for a solution over the other? This seems rather fruitless in the end. Whether you are an advanced user or a beginning user, there should be an emphasis on growth. You are only as valuable as your ability to adapt and problem solve. It behooves any developer to expand his/her knowledge on various technologies. The more solution sets that you can become familiar with, the more that you can truly evaluate a solution for the best course of action. If a client said, "I have a purely Microsoft environment," then it would make sense to offer a Microsoft solution now wouldn't it? If you have diverse network environment, you will want a a diverse solution. You can offer a BlueDragon solution and/or an Adobe solution. Even if you are a salary employee, you should always be thinking that you are a paid consultant. Think objectively and find the best course of action. If you can seperate your bias and use your objectivity, you may find avenues that were not there before. Do not fear change, embrace it. This goes for a CF and a .Net developer. Let's stop pointing out differences and point out how we can work together or how similar we actually are. Enough cliches for one post.
