Hi, I just want to chime in that OpenBD is not ACF 8 and "a bit more". Please take a look at Notes of the nightly build (http://openbd.org/notes/) and also at the manual at http://openbd.org/manual/. There are MANY functions that are in par with CF9/CF10/Railo.
Yes, there are tags/functions not in place like ORM or cfinterface (thus ColdBox not working). Also there are tags not available that simply make no sense, like cfdiv or all the "suboptimal" Ajax calls introduced in CF8 (if you need those you really should learn JQuery). Else OpenBD works very well. Just want to set the record straight. Please feel free to use ACF or Railo if that fits your job better. No one is forcing you to use OpenBD. If you do, I'm sure you will like it.
