The article singles out TripHomes mostly for the reliance on MS tech that has caused problems. What they want is to move away from MS tech. It's unfortunate they mention CF is somewhat unflattering terms but most of the criticism is (rightly) aimed at MS tech. "hidden disadvantage of the .Net approach is that the resulting Web site is harder to manage" "It's more difficult to scale .Net, it's harder to monitor in a large-scale deployment," Buhrdorf says. "Java can scale up on small Linux servers, and you get better insight into the production environment." The comments about the CF app's architecture were not aimed at CF but at the architecture: The old TripHomes site had stored its home images, data, and programming logic in the form of stored procedures in the database on a single disk drive, "giving us a single point of failure," And, indeed, that was extremely bad practice. CF is based on Java - the tech that they like! There's really nothing critical of CF here, just criticism of bad practices.
