i just started using cold fusion again for the first time since 1998. it has come a long way, the new server is really sweet.

we switched from php because of open source security problems. i like it plenty, it is way more friendly than asp and the integration with html means you don't have to go echoing and escaping characters all the time, which was a real pain in the ass with php. developing in dreamweaver mx is very nice too.

i'd still use php on message boards or non critical apps, or maybe on an intranet inside a good firewall, but we found that running a business critical linux-apache-mysql-php site was like wearing a tshirt with a bullseye at a dart tournament. every wannabe cracker was tossing darts at us.
