Thanks, everyone for all the different perspectives. I know that if I were looking at coldfusion for the first time these days, with all the OOP and framework talk dominating the 'airwaves', I'd probably go with PHP or something else, because there is no real benefit to Coldfusion if the learning curve is similar for other scripting languages (and this is where coldfusion could easily die a quick death: potential adopters would not see the benefits of going with coldfusion over more popular alternatives). But I'm a Graphic Designer, not a hard-core programmer, so, I will continue enjoying all the powerful stuff coldfusion offers. It's more than enough for the intermediate-level stuff i do everyday.
