Take your code and go home? I don't understand what you mean. The developers of CFML are very tied into their community. I don't know of any situation where they've made a change to a version and old code broke. With the exception of version 5 to version 6, since that was a complete rewrite of the core language. Even some functions that have been deprecated (like ParameterExists) still work. > Another reason I don't like CF is the actual code. It just feels like > you're not coding. When I first saw the language I thought the same thing. But I quickly got over myself. It's coding and it's not kiddy-coding either. Check out some of the code over at CFLib.org, or check out some of the open-source projects taking place at RIAForge.org. Speaking about personal preference though, I don't like the way that C++ style object notation that PHP uses (read: obj=>myMethod()). I much prefer the dot notation (read: obj.myMethod()). So there's my personal preference.
