I moved into consulting and later into full-time work as a web editor and content manager (that is, writing rather than programming). I still have a dedicated box with CFMX for my hobby projects, but one thing that is forcing a move from CF to PHP is the complete lack of CF cowboys. It's so amazingly easy to get PHP help - for free, which is important to large hobby projects (my portal is 7 years old and has 4,000 members) - and we save a lot of money going away from CFMX. I really wish Adobe had taken up the BlueDragon challenge and offered a cheap (as in a few hundred bucks) CFMX license so that I could keep it on my server for my old projects. Instead I'm forced to go with shared hosting some place, with all the incompetence that brings with it. Yes, CF pops up at shared hosts but when the hosts know little or nothing about hosting CF sites, and lock down all options because they believe their server will die if the all CFFILE, then what good does it bring? ColdFusion has gone from something with great potential to something that will die a slow death in the hands of diehard experts. I am very, very sad to see it go.

I also do projects in ASP.NET & PHP. I'm not a fan of ASP.NET but quite like PHP. I also like to dabble in Python and occasionally tap into ColdFusion's Java underpinnings. But if I need to get a project done quickly (who doesn't sometimes) and the client doesn't already have a specific platform requirement, I use CF. I haven't done as much as I could have to evangelize CF, but I'm starting to change that. I have built a Yahoo! Answers style site strictly for ColdFusion, but it is still in it's infancy and isn't quite the information source I hope it will become someday.
