Hey ColdFusion Pros, Why Use It?

Java, Ruby, ASP.NET, PHP, Python, these languages all get the buzz when it comes to online application development. I am curious about why ColdFusion even matters today.

TechCrunch features the latest startup to catch the attention of its writers, the underlying application always seems to be built on the O'Reilly-dubbed LAMP stack. Are ColdFusion developers primarily working on legacy applications these days? That may sound odd, but if new sites aren't launching on the ColdFusion platform, then the demand for its programmers has to be from companies with existing web applications. Is this really the case? When I looked at SimplyHired, and later at ColdFusion matters. As it stands today I'm just not convinced. If I'm wrong I'd like to know that. Tag: Add to Del.icio.us | Digg | Yahoo!
