I've got issues with other parts of it as well. For the part you asked about, yes, ADO is more powerful than cfquery, and yes, it does take longer to get used to and to learn the advanced things you can do with it. Of course raw JDBC is more powerful and takes longer to learn than cfquery as well. If you take the time to learn and put into practice, you can make your ADO.NET more robust than CF. The question is, is it worth it? That's a matter of opinion.
John, .NET using COM objects is about the same as CF, you instantiate it, use it and destroy it as quickly as possible. As with all systems, the less you leave your little application world, the more robust your application will run. The comparison sheet really is old, to iterate what Mark M said, plus the writer's lack of experience with .NET shows through.
