Dave,
I work with Coldfusion day-in and day-out. It is a fantastic language
that can get a lot of things done quickly. It's powerful, versatile and
has an easy-enough learning curve. Don't listen to anyone who just says
'PHP is better', or, 'If you're starting from scratch, start with PHP',
any evaluation to that degree is coming from someone who has little to
no experience with C vs. Java. (Yes originally CF was written in C, but
in much wisdom they moved to Java).
I am very well versed in CF and would be more than happy to answer any
of your questions off list David.

Flame me for starting this, I know it might get religious. But: an
organization of which I am a member is evaluating proposals to rebuild
its website. One of those proposals is from some folks who apparently
are partial to ColdFusion. All I know about CF is what I just picked
up from skimming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColdFusion. Recognizing
my bias towards languages that I speak, I try to keep an open mind. I
am interested in hearing what you guys think about CF. I know I can
expect a PHPish bias in this forum but I also know there are a lot of
independent-minded, non-dogmatic, clear-headed, breath-takingly wise
and knowledgeable... have I flattered you enough yet?
