I read it Sean. You said that I can't lay the fault at Adobe's door. And I disagree. The difference between ACF and Ruby and PHP isn't how zealous it's community is. CF zealots are some of the most involved and passionate out there. And you can choke a horse with the amount of tutorials and books available. The reason CF isn't more popular is because Adobe doesn't do enough in the marketplace to dispel the myths about CF and to try justify the cost of the product. They don't do enough to indoctrinate the next generations of developers.
That's my two cents anyway.
