I'd guess that you're the exception, not the rule, based on my experience as
an instructor. As far as preferring the ASP model versus the CF model for
code, that's more of a personal preference than anything else - in either
case, you're mixing HTML with server-side programming. The alternative, to
me, is even worse, in which you have to output each line of HTML
specifically within the body of your code, like you'd do in a Java servlet,
for example.
