Mark, They may be part of it. Or not. Either way it needs to be taken in context - there are far more questions from absolute beginners looking for initial help on the Forums then there are posting from doomsayers - that definitely says that folks are not just still using CF, they are also first starting to do so.
I also think that part of the frustration expressed on the Forums is frustration at the current economic situation in general. Lots of people are looking for work, and yes, there are more ASP pages and sites out there than CFML pages and sites, and so by default there'll be more ASP work than CFML work. And while this is not a formal method of measuring interest in a product, I do have my own gauges that I use - hits on my site, numbers of readers and sites accessing my CF tips, book sales, etc. And none of those show that CF is dying - on the contrary. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Mark Smeets [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2001 2:15 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: death of coldfusion It's just the microsoft lovers trying to stir things up, this happens like once every 6 months. Be reasonable and ask yourself would you really kill a language that is growing this fast in popularity that is more effective than the other languages out there? (thats my opinion, I think cf is much better than asp or php) Macromedia isn't incorporating CF into Dreamweaver for the past 2 version for nothing.
