There are two big choices in Web development- Java and .NET. Everything else is marginal in the corporate world, regardless of what the PHP folks say ;-).
...NET is the Microsoft camp, CFMX is part of the Java camp. That is the core difference. Does your organization believe in MSFT apps and plan to be married to MSFT for the long term? With CF, you can use CFMX or Blue Dragon (even BD.NET). You can use whatever Java platform you prefer and are willing to pay for/deal with. You can pick from a variety of supported operating systems. I believe either choice is a legitimate one, but the choice should reflect the philosophy of the organization. The third choice, of course, is to use both. That works best in big organizations where they can hire sufficient staff to support both technologies. > Yes, but I consider it useful information, once the bias is considered. > I'm am trying to find other similar sources with different biases. > > Your point is a good one; if that is the business you are in. > > I am looking at this more from an internal "behind the firewall" point > of view.
