I don't think the Rails draw is only price driven. It's the auto-generation piece. We have some ways to do this, but there is not something that just stands out. What is the learning curve on Rails? Maybe that coupled with price is what is attracting people. Yes CF is easy to learn, but to jump into auto-generated DB components takes some digging and learning. Maybe the move toward Hibernate will be the thing that makes CF an easy choice, especially for java developers. -- Matt Williams "It's the question that drives us." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307670 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
