Personally, I think it's related to the instable economy. Pack your bags and move your family to Northern Virginia. Those guys are complete clowns! I read somewhere that they are all using Allair Cold Fuzion.

Well, its nice to program these elegant elaborate fully object oriented systems in C# and be able to whip out a console application once in a while, as needed. Sure, it makes one feel smart to throw all these fancy acronyms and names and have a full knowledge that the stuff you work on is so complicated that a mere mortal cannot handle it. The only problem with all of that is that for all of above benefits there is a high price to pay. And that price is development speed. If you need something now, .Net is not a rapid application development platform. Its more of a snail development with detective work... I mean sometimes you are spending a lot of time figuring out where the code is. So if the world needs in the future are for things to be delivered yesterday... .Net is definitely on its last legs unless something even better than latest DB improvements in 4.0 comes out. Or MS just threatens everyone with sudden death. Just my 2c. ---------------------------------------- From: Qing Xia <txiasum...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 1:50 PM To: cf-talk <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Subject: Re: Why i fear ColdFusion is on its last legs Now, here's the ultimate test: let's post a "ASP.NET is dying" thread to their mailing list and see if the response is as strong.
