I've just been listening to *another* Helms and Peters PODcast (glad I decided to work through the back catalogue) where the consensus was very clearly:
1. Use CF for RAD and presentation power 2. If your domain model is so complex that CF is giving you problems, use a Java domain model with a CF front end 3. If Adobe is going to focus on anything in the CF OO space, it should focus on better Java integration to make point 2 easier. That's cool. I hear people say #1 often, but rarely #2 (and maybe that's because #3 hasn't happened). Given that #3 hasn't happened, what are the options? (I know, Sean - I should get over it).
