Re-inventing the wheel is relative to what you're doing and the frame of reference. I can think of many reasons I'd go with a "vendor neutral" method of doing something, even if there is a really nifty built-in way of doing what you want. Not saying all or nothing, it's a balancing act and whatnot, but depending on how far down the road you're looking, and what your goals are, re-inventing the wheel sometimes isn't. In the first 4 mins, it looks pretty wheel shaped, but 30 min later you realize it's a... Well, who knows. Maybe some code needs to run in a couple of places, one of which not being CF? Could be a lot of stuff.. but cfquery is really cool, hells yeah. It's also a bain cuz it's sooooo easy. Ah, CF... What a language! Anyways, I reckon if you got it set up right, you'd only need to change one piece of code to use either method. Man, it's still hard to wrap my head around some of the Pragmatic Programmer concepts. First there was night and day, then oceans- more and more delineation... I have trouble figuring out where to draw the line, yes I do.
