Reply: Actually, I regard this as a Good Thing. CF is a champion for pounding out small sites quickly. I'd go as far to say that in that capacity probably nothing can beat it. I haven't seen anything that beats <cfquery> .... <cfoutput>. CFCs tried to bring objects and OO to CF, and they've gone a long way to destroying the principal strength of the language - simplicity. Take a look at the CF community these days and most of what you'll find is intellectual masturbation. They're going down the same road Java went down recently. A proliferation of frameworks, to the point where they have numerous ORMs and even a Spring clone. You have to wonder if at any point these guys don't say, "Hmm, why don't we just use Java?"
Please keep in mind that this was not my writing, but the writing of someone else who was posting to a message board. I do not want anyone to think that we are masturbating around here :) I think the discussions that the community has are outstanding. I think I was just wondering where exactly CF was headed and if it will continue to be the product that everyone came to love by providing simplicity in design.
