Now that was such a deliberate attempt at flame baiting that it  
doesn't really count :-)

As an ex Allaire/MM employee and author of several successful Flex/ 
Flash/ColdFusion apps, I'd just like to balance the record on  
FlexCoders by saying that apart from the occasional issues due to the  
combination of actionscript and a loosely typed scripting language  
with scant regard for the case of variable names ColdFusion is a  
very, very rapid coding environment (JSP was made in it's image, note  
the Allaire engineers that contributed to the JSP spec), and at  
runtime it's just a very neat (Sun certified) servlet that runs in  
your favourite J2EE web container (I once used the windows CF  
installer to install CF on a linux partition on an IBM Z-Series  
mainframe - even the database drivers worked).

As for "dying", please compare:
ColdFusion http://www.google.com/search?as_q=.cfm&as_occt=url
.NET       http://www.google.com/search?as_q=.aspx&as_occt=url (not  
to suggest .NET is dying, just a relative penetration)

Cheers,
