I agree Ken. I also hesitated to bring this up AGAIN on this list, it really is a tireless winless battle. But I think I have the reason CF is always on defense. Resource pool. How many colleges across America teach CF? I know of 2, both are community colleges not 4 year institutes. Howmany teach java, I know of at least 8 in my area likewise for .NET I know of 2 technical schools, 2 community colleges, and 2 universities that offer/require these classes. If not looking at education then looks at work environments, or community size. >net and Java both generally have a much broader and larger community. If the resource pool is bigger on the other side the opinion is "stronger" or "more reliable". Think about this in other area's, I'll use sports. Who is on offense and who is on defense, in general, when there is a power play in hockey? The team with more resources. Heck look at the phrase Power Play, the team with more resources has Power, and often exerts that power, on the other team. In affect that's what happens to the CF community Java and .NET both have power plays on us....
