You should reread the entire paragraph from my original email containing the sentence above. Taking statements out of context doesn't facilitate a useful discussion. Here's what the original poster wrote to which I was responding: "My boss, who is a director of Marketing has talked about switching to .Net because it what some Web agencies are saying we should be using." Does that sound like a good business justification to you? For migrating from anything to anything else? Because "some Web agencies" like it better? > While that may play well for laughs in this forum, it's not very > sound technical or business advice. I was trying to make the point > that sometimes it *is* a good idea to switch from CF to .NET > (regardless of whether or not you choose to use BlueDragon to help > make the switch). Dismissing anyone who considers making such a > switch as being "on crack" is silly. Again, context matters. If the original poster had written something like this: "My boss has talked about switching to .NET because (we'd save significant amounts of money|we have more .NET programmers available|we use Microsoft infrastructure for everything else|etc)." then, yes, my dismissal would have been silly, and I wouldn't have made it in the first place. Of course, as you well know, that's not what happened, and I stand by my assertion that the original poster's boss is about to make a bad business decision based on his ignorance and gullibility. I like .NET, actually. Not as much as CF, but I wouldn't recommend that anyone migrate from one to the other just because I prefer one to the other. You have a fine product. You don't need to be so defensive.
