The problem with Coldfusion isn't with it's popularity, usefulness or value. It's with Adobe and the cost of licensing.
The only reason right now someone would choose Coldfusion over literally anything else free is their existing skill. That's the very definition of dying out.
The other problem with Coldfusion is the community that all seem to have this same chip on their shoulder.

- vkhn 7y agoYou're right of course, but I'm betting that development didn't start with the open source implementation.
- borkyborkbork 7y agoWe've done quite a bit of new development with the Lucee open source engine. We switch back and forth between the open source engine and Adobe engine depending on if we want the remote monitoring that comes with Adobe CF.
