Adam,
That's a common misconception out there, at least I've seen it many times.
While you are collecting hard data, you might also want to mention why,
in part, ColdFusion got this nastly little rap.
ColdFusion is easy to learn. Therefore, it brings in programmers who
are not necessarily from a programming background. That's important,
because the base knowledge of expensive versus efficient coding
practices are not always there. Therefore, ColdFusion is definately
going to yield some non-Enterprise worthy solutions. Good programmers
and architecture, however, can definately get the job done right.
Compare Java to ColdFusion. I believe Java is a lot harder to become a guru
at than ColdFusion. And along the way, the sub-par programmers
might get weeded out. So while Java is an excellent application platform,
it doesn't have the stigma CF has.
But for tag-based solutions, CF, ASP, PHP, whatever, It comes down to
proper architecure and programming, and not the platform.
