I agree that learning something new is fun and I am sort of enjoying .NET.
My chief complaint would be that M$ makes you go around the block when all
you need to do is just go down to the end of the street in regards to
coding.  I also realize that as a pure CF developer I am not nearly as
marketable as I was a few years ago (I am ONLY referring to the DFW area).
If I move to DC or VA, I can get a job no problem. However, being forced to
learn something new sort of takes the joy out of it. My driving force at
this moment is the fact that I have to pay the bills and support a family
and the fact that I am more marketable in the area should the need to find a
new place of employment ever arise.

I always thought learning something new was fun... but I guess if you want
to make it a drag, that's your business.

(I have no opinion of asp.net at this point since I haven't had the
opportunity to play with it... yet.)

Ughhh. the day I have to learn asp.net and stop using coldfusion is the day
web development would cease to be enjoyable and thus I would be looking for
a new job.
