> advantages/disadvantages?

That is an interesting question and partially why I brought it up. I'm
not sure that I know all the advantages and disadvantages. I could
certainly start listing things off the top of my head, but I don't know
that would cover things. However, maybe if others chime in we can all
get a more thorough list.
The disadvantages list is pretty easy I think. Anything CFMX does that
BlueDragon doesn't would be on that list. I believe the BlueDragon
compatibility guide does a good job of explaining that.
For advantages I would list the following:
* price
* standard deployment to any Servlet engine/J2EE app server
* deployment without source code
* upcoming support for .NET deployment
* cfimap
* cfimage
* CFC enhancements (will be released in beta 2)
* full-text search uses Lucene and includes a spider (will be released
in beta 2)
* web service consumption is fully dynamic i.e. there is no stub
caching issue
* disk space and memory requirements are much lower
Again, I am sure there are others, but that was just off the top of my
head. One major thing I don't think many people have thought about is
the release cycle of BlueDragon. It seems to me New Atlanta is able to
release about two versions of BlueDragon for every version released of
ColdFusion by Macromedia. IMHO, that means that all the things we as a
community look for in a new release happens more often such as bug
fixes and feature enhancements.
