Mark,
Here's my take on ASP vs CF. First off I have developed both ASP and CF
sites. I find CF easier to work with and to debug CF allows me to get a
site out the door quite a lot faster than ASP.
Unless you're strongly into Visual Basic Script or JavaScript, CF is easier
to use and learn.
When I arrived here they had built an application in Perl, using an outside
contractor. The Perl was free (ActivePerl). The labor had soared upwards to
$140K, ending at $200K (yes, I know, I wanted to leave come back as a
contractor!) I took them years to complete. It is a total piece of junk.
