Of course not but if, as the original poster said, he saw no other significant difference, then it becomes a major component of the decision. It's still my contention that you can build the vast majority of web applications (and build them well architecturally) faster in CF than in anything else. However you can't build ALL web applications equally well in CF - for some (a minority, but a significant minority) you may need more. In my case I would create them by extending CFMX with Java (since it's normally only a small part of the application that requires something "more" than CF), but they can be addressed in many, many ways.
