Nope, I agree with Geoff and Mark. You actually need reasonable technical skills to write code (even crap code) in C++, etc *and* get it to work in a public environment... I think the point is that CF is a very easy language to code in and many people writing sites using it have little or no programming skill or training. To some extent CF is its own worst enemy. Because it *is* easy to write a lot of people with strong technical skills will write it off on the basis of "if it is that easy it can't be a serious".
