Other folks had the info, if that helps. As Mike noted, text-based functionality is certainly stronger than before, and the smarter front end doesn't detract from that. I've been thinking of this aspect: ColdFusion was one of the first to break away from stateless viewing sessions, by remembering things about the visitor on the server end of things. Now it has a stateless partner right in the client... there's no need to toss the page after each visitor interaction. These "rich web applications" with client-side processing are a logical extension of the previous type of web applications. ColdFusion didn't make regular static web servers obsolete... both expanded. A smart client won't make ColdFusions text-based generation obsolete either... just adds another tool to your toolbox.
