I think sometimes we sulk off to places like here and complain when someone says "CF is dead."
I used to think it wasn't dignified to duke it out with some of the fanboys. But I have changed my mind. So now I have made it a point to challenge these guys sometimes. I took the time to learn Rails a while back. Why is it I am knowledgeable about their language but they can criticize mine without knowing it? Tell these guys to download and spend a weekend with the developer edition of CF-8 and then come back and tell me I am all wet when I say CF defines RAD. Paul Graham says we should all learn a language a year. Lets make this the year we tell our critics to master Coldfusion or stop criticizing it!
