I was going to stay away from this thread at all costs....but I read this:

I wrote about this deep in the first post on my blog. It wasn't UNTIL Adobe took over ColdFusion that I felt really good about ColdFusions future. This is what I wrote. *snip* from May of 2008 "...Then came the Macromedia years. I risk offending a few people here, but I really didn't like Macromedia. I felt they didn't know what to do with ColdFusion. I kept coding in CFML, but I dropped out of the ColdFusion Development Community. I had no desire to help Macromedia out in any way. When Adobe bought up Macromedia I was worried at first, but within a week I realized it was a good thing. Adobe has long been the world leader in print media. They had been trying to break into the world of online media and had few successes. They did have PDF, but not much else. I knew right away that Adobe was going to use ColdFusion to become the world leader in online media. With the release of ColdFusion 8 we saw that is exactly what Adobe intends to do. This new direction for ColdFusion has left me feeling better and thus I have decided to slowly become more involved in the ColdFusion community." */snip* (full post at http://www.trunkful.com/page.cfm/About if you're really interested. ) And I have to say I still feel this way and even more so now that ColdFusion 9 is here. I believe ColdFusion is here to stay and grow no mater how much FUD certain people try to (and seem to enjoy) spreading. /soapbox Wil Genovese One man with courage makes a majority. -Andrew Jackson A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
