I was only peeved regarding the talk of the platform CF runs on, as in it only 
runs with x,y,z.  It does more than on IIS and SQL!! : )

What you said beyond that, absolutely!!

The article singles out TripHomes mostly for the reliance on MS tech
that has caused problems. What they want is to move away from MS tech.
It's unfortunate they mention CF is somewhat unflattering terms but
most of the criticism is (rightly) aimed at MS tech.

"hidden disadvantage of the .Net approach is that the resulting Web
site is harder to manage"

"It's more difficult to scale .Net, it's harder to monitor in a
large-scale deployment," Buhrdorf says. "Java can scale up on small
Linux servers, and you get better insight into the production
environment."

The comments about the CF app's architecture were not aimed at CF but
at the architecture:

The old TripHomes site had stored its home images, data, and
programming logic in the form of stored procedures in the database on
a single disk drive, "giving us a single point of failure,"

And, indeed, that was extremely bad practice. CF is based on Java -
the tech that they like!

There's really nothing critical of CF here, just criticism of bad practices.

Moral: write better programs in CF and CF will get less criticism...
