I had a 'discussion' with the IT consultant at a client of mine who insisted
that CF was built on ASP. He wouldn't have it any other way. He was
obviously an MS man and didn't view anything else as 'proper'. What annoyed
me more than anything else was that he was getting paid a small fortune as a
daily rate and clearly didn't know what he was talking about.

I totally agree.
Last week my (now ex) hosting company (Vortech) told one of my customers
that CF is a crap development system and is full of security holes.
I spoke to the guy and he hadn't got a clue about CF beyond basic
installation.

I just got off the phone with a IT company who manages the web server for
one of our clients. This client is pretty small, non-profit, and we're just
doing a little ASP project with them. In the course of our conversation, he
asked what other languages we use. I tell him CF, ASP.NET, ASP, and PHP.
His
reply to me was "You still use ColdFusion? What a piece of crap!". Of
course, I bristle any time I hear stuff like this, and I whoa'ed him up a
little. As we got deeper into the conversation, I found out that he was
basing his whole experience on a legacy CF5 server install that he did a few
weeks ago for a client of his. I tried and tried to explain that he's
comparing apples to oranges when talking about modern CFMX vs. CF5, but he
just wouldn't hear it. I just wanted to strangle the guy. Why do IT people
have such know-it-all attitudes when they clearly don't know what they are
talking about? Seems to only happen in our industry.can't let the other guy
out-geek you, I guess.
Bah - rant over. Just needed to get it out of my system. (had to do it via
my alias since I'm not sure who'll read this in the future.)
