Everyone has those little things that bug them. I for one always take
notice of "Cold Fusion" over "ColdFusion" a previous coworker seems to
have worn off on me in that regards. I am sure there are some people that
are like that about JavaScript too, of course that is a bad example since
some spell checkers say it is one word and others say two.
I for one do agree about developers personal sites not being all that
great usually. I will admit fully that mine is not all that great and
since I have been slowly making it for what seems like forever, I bet one
could find errors in it or make them happen. Even with that said, most of
the work I do and have done since 1996 with ColdFusion has had next to
nothing to do with a look or visuals. Most of the projects I have worked
on have been for intranets and the few eccomerce sites I have worked on, I
was adding features to a existing site or making a new site based on a
graphic artists mock ups.
