Anyone here using Cold Fusion to code their website?
Is there any advantage to using Cold Fusion? Scripts written in Cold Fusion are very rare.
I am wondering why Cold Fusion is one of the least popular of web scripting languages.

It's proprietary, non-free (expensive, in fact) and has a tag-based syntax that looks unfamiliar to most programmers used to a C-style syntax. As far as I can see, there are no advantages to using Coldfusion save for perhaps some easier integration with some Adobe products.
I've seen some free and open source CFML engines around (free alternatives to ColdFusion itself), but they're not fully compatible with Adobe's version. I've considered looking at it further, but I can't see a compelling reason to do so.
Of course, if anybody knows of any really cool uses of Coldfusion, I'm all ears!
I have seen that most of tgp sites are in cold fusion. I have got an inquiry from the client about it. But finally i completed that site in php. So I didnt learn cold fusion that time. But would love to do it in near future.
The only advantage of such is that you're being assured of security hacks. the less people know of the technology the less hackers will be into attacking it.
I have started reading an ebook for Cold Fusion but I think its not much easy to learn it and usage is also a bit strange and confused. So, I think just try other programming languages before using Cold Fusion.
actually, it is quite popular, just not media hyped. Coldfusion is a rapid IDE environment with custom tags. NOthing is free including ASP.net I am fluent with coldfusion and other programming ... blah blah blah
