I don't get where "CF vs .NET" led to that. The Gartner paper isn't "CF vs .NET". It's an overall forecast on the value and the viability of CF. > Because that's the argument Ben Forta makes in his blog: > http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/node/46362 > > Comparing ASP.NET to ColdFusion is difficult.

Well, that's a technical argument, and while technically accurate it's not going to convince the people in charge of the technicians. If I'm the guy making purchasing decisions, I can choose to go with Adobe's solution, Microsoft's solution, or any one of a bunch of other solutions. The fact that there's not a one-to-one correspondence between ASP.NET and CF doesn't really matter.
