Charlie, I'd love to have a productive discussion on this subject. And yes, I have opinions on this one, I've shared them before and am happy to do so again. And no, as much as I admire Adam's passion for ColdFusion (it's why I nudged him into the role), I don't fully agree with his take on things. But regardless, I don't think this thread can be steered anywhere. When conversations denigrate to emotional rants and accusations and unsubstantiated sweeping generalizations, that's when I back away.

Rather than ignore it... is it worth trying to steer in a more productive direction? Can it be a productive discussion? I've gone on record before as saying I don't think the existence of the alternate engines spells the doom of Adobe ColdFusion. I may be wrong, but lord I hope not. Adobe ColdFusion has been -very- good to me over the past 15 years, not just professionally, but personally. Many of the people that I consider my best friends are friends that I've made in the CF community. So I've got both a personal and professional interest in this, and it's a subject that I care about quite a bit. If it can't be done here... so be it. Just seems that we have representation from all sides, and nobody seems to be too shy about sharing how they feel. All we need to do is steer the discussion in a direction where it's more productive and constructive. Assuming that direction... y'know... exists.
