In my opinion... with a 7 year experience of using ACF and 1 year experience of using Railo and a few months experience of using PHP... I believe where products like ACF are making CFML feature enrichment and innovation at a totally different level, products like Railo are needed to compete PHP and keep CFML alive and JAGGED UP!!! All the CFML engines are backed by extremely active and supportive communities who are willing to help at no cost :) but what Railo has to offer is lightweight, blazing fast, good compatibility with CFML and the ability to customise. Things like these were the strongest criticism on CFML I guess :) And one thing more... what I have seen so far is that the complete Railo team is present on this ACF list unlike the other way round. This gives the Railo team the edge of competitor awareness ... if you know what I mean ;)
