We have a client that is trying to decide whether to go with my company or another company. We are a CF/MS SQL shop, and the other company does LAMP development (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl).
I was wondering if anyone on this list can give some ideas of the pros and cons of using CF/MS SQL vs LAMP. I know for a fact that perl code is harder to read and maintain, and that's it's probably slower since it's interpreted every time instead of pre-compiled as CF is. I know MS SQL has more features (such as stored procs) that MySQL lacks. What other pros does CF/MySQL have over LAMP that might sway a potential client? Personally, except for the fact that LAMP is free, I don't see any advantages of it at all.
