>>In seven years they've had five releases. That is the nature of the beast. It is the same for everything web related. Technology moves at a blisteringly fast pace on the internet and some people welcome that sort of release schedule. Resting on ones laurels is the kiss of death in this business. "You snooze you lose" is not an idle phrase, it is a way of life. In my opinion, the stewards of CF dropped the ball big time and did not move _fast enough_ between versions 5 through 8 and as a result CF was eclipsed by ROR, LAMP, .NET and other stacks.
