Eric, I hope you're right and i'm just panicking unnecessarily. But when i see little or no promotion, very little discussion about CF, bugger all interest from the user groups, and no jobs that adds up to a pretty serious malaise i fear.
Every night i have some of my favourite job boards send me an email with IT jobs that meet my search criteria. Every night all 2009, I got at least 150 jobs on the email. There are plenty of web dev jobs. but the ones containing the word "ColdFusion" have dropped from 4-5 every day about 18 months ago, to less than 5 in the last 6 months. Based on this information (which i admit might be giving me a misleading impression) its hard not to conclude that the other technologies are chugging along ok, but CF isnt. I am eager to be proved wrong in this. I dearly hope i am.
