Nofi, but this thread is going off topic because some people are too blind seeing there is more on the market than CF :) If you don't like PHP, that's all right, everybody has its own personal affection with a language, but stating in someway that the developers using PHP are amateurs is just not true.
In general, I found the average quality of products developed with PHP much higher than those made with CF. The learning curve of CF due to its tag based syntax is much lower, and so people with less programming experience or less know-how about how to approach certain constructions are starting quickly writing their code in CF. That is the power behind CF, but it has its side effects regarding quality. The PHP learning curve is much higher nor is it very attractive to the beginning developer. Most people starting with PHP have at least some theoretical and experience about programming. Ofcourse there are many good CF developers, but there are also a lot of unexperienced developers, just because they can get started quickly with programming. How many developers really use cfqueryparam for instance? I think there are a lot just output the values without review. This is true code running in production I had to review once (because there was an error somewhere) http://www.mschopman.demon.nl/horror.txt Micha Schopman Project Manager Modern Media, Databankweg 12 M, 3821 AL Amersfoort Tel 033-4535377, Fax 033-4535388 KvK Amersfoort 39081679, Rabo 39.48.05.380 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
