Instead of getting into the argument, let me simply answer Bill's question. I will answer it solely from the point of view of BlueDragon.NET, which is our preferred CFML platform by far.
1) BlueDragon.NET runs most applications faster under heavier loads than ColdFusion Server. 2) BlueDragon.NET is rock-solid stable; some of this stability is inherited from the .NET platform. 3) New Atlanta support is nothing short of amazing. If you haven't heard my stories over the past couple of years regarding their "minutemen-on-standby" attitude toward serving their customers, then contact me offlist and I'll be happy to send you some. 4) New Atlanta's engineers are constantly sweating the details to make the product better from the inside out. 5) BlueDragon is the only CFML processor to date whose CFLOGIN framework -- including roles -- actually works across machines within a cluster with failover. 6) BlueDragon.NET can effectively and realistically scale to 64 machines (possibly more) in a single cluster by using off-the-shelf third party tools like ScaleOut StateServer, and complex objects in the Session scope syndicate with good performance. ColdFusion can't touch this (apologies to MC Hammer). 7) Installing and configuring BlueDragon.NET is an absolute breeze. From what I've heard of their Java-based versions, those are fall-off-a-log simple, too. 8) This last point may at first sound unimportant, but to me it's just as important as the first seven. And that's the fact that people at New Atlanta are nice folks. Yep, that's right -- good old fashioned nice people who are genuine and professional and really appear to strive for something better. And that's everyone, from the president to the person who answers the phone. The reason why I think this is so important is because true professionals always seem to have such an attitude of pleasant balance with a spark in their eyes and their feet pointing North. Real pros just seem to handle everything fluidly and with ease, and that lack of internal conflict translates to overall better customer interactions. Ever notice that about your very favorites in any industry? New Atlanta has that, to a man (and woman). Bill, I hope this helps. Best of everything to you, my friend.
