It's easy to get things done / setup if you already know what you're doing. But, lets compare apples to apples here. It seems logical to me that someone wanting to install CF would start at Adobe.com , and from there could easily find and download the installers. I chose, Products

I prefer CF because it is what I know. Since it comes from Adobe it's integration w/ Flex is top notch. After 2 days of trying, I gave up trying to get PHP to work on my dev machine; so I'm amused by the claim it can be setup w/ minimal fuss. Dnk wrote: Again, this comes to preference,

The ColdFusion is Dead argument has come up somewhere every 6 months for the past 8 years. I perceive, from Adobe's stand point that CF is a stable product showing consistent growth. CF was designed for web development and that is something that it does wonderfully well. But, that makes

Again, this comes to preference, but for me I like PHP due to the fact Ito is available on a huge number of the web hosts out there, and it can be run on Linux, win or osx with minimal fuss. Easy to setup a dev machine without vendor lockin. Dk On 18-Feb-09, at 7:10 PM, bsyyu
