I recently left ColdFusion development and I've never been happier. IT has been my anecdotal experience that ColdFusion is an old man's game. They seem to look on newfangled things like Object Oriented programming with mistrust. This guy thinks it almost ruined his business.[1] The 'younger' guys who get into OO, seem to look at Java and think it's a good idea to have three layers of abstraction between their controller and their database wrapper that has four methods on it.[2] I got out of ColdFusion 8 months ago into PHP, which isn't exactly known as being a hotbed of good code. I feel like just a mediocre programmer at the currently company I'm at would be a way-beyond-stellar ColdFusion developer. Of course this is all anecdotal and hearsay, but my experience is in line with yours.
