A few years back I was attempting to take on a web programming language because of a site I was working on. It needed some dynamic content. I was jumping around between languages trying to figure out which one would be the best. In my search I tried ColdFusion because the web design firm that designed my father's company website spoke highly of it. I eventually ended up with PHP primary due to its available resources and very low cost.
I was wondering why I see, generally businesses, use ColdFusion? Yes, there are individuals that take it on and develop applications, but what about it makes it good? I know I may get a biased opinion, but I would like to know. One of factors that drew me away from it, is the coding style. It is clearly different with the use of tags. To me, it seems like a language like PHP, ASP, C/C++, Java, etc... would be more efficient to use.
I hope I was clear enough. :D
