Your experience mirrors what I've heard from many developers who have left CF for non-technical reasons. It's too bad, but the up-side to all of this is that the grass is green on both sides of the fence. The PHP community is healthy and there are very exciting things happening with Ruby and Python. I'm looking at all of these for future projects, and I'm happy to keep Cf in the toolbox as well. Thanks for the comment.

(getting caught up in my feed reader) Great article. I spent the majority from 2001 to 2009 working in ColdFusion (BD,OpenBD or Railo). Where I'm at the local market has completely shifted from ColdFusion. So at year's beginning (2010) I had some hard choices to make... being self-employed and just going through a divorce (financial strain)... I ended up taking as much work where I could... which lead me in the PHP world which is dominant in the small local markets here. Something I'd love is to work (once again) with ColdFusion... but unfortunately, there aren't too many shops here that use it in their toolbox. I really enjoyed your take on what the state of CF might be.... I've always wondered why Adobe wouldn't somehow push ColdFusion more along with their other offerings such as Flex... seems to me it could be strongly presented in a way that shows CF hand in hand with those other applications. A well rounded enterprise package. Sorry for the long rant. That's what happens when I don't drink enough coffee in the morning... :-) I’m a bit late getting to this….

Railo and OpenBD are great options, but most developers in the CF community know nothing about them, and the exposure outside the CF community is virtually zero from what I can tell. At this point if there is to be a migration towards ColdFusion as an RIa option in the near future, the push will need to come initially from Adobe. It looks like Adobe has given the CF team the go-ahead for big things in ColdFusion 10, so that will help. That’s a really good point Tom.

I agree that free CFML engines are the most likely source of growth for CF, but I don't hold out any hope that a Ruby, PHP, or Java developer will just try Railo or OpenBD out of curiosity. These engines need to be pushed in front of them by web hosts and universities who make them a standard install on any web host. Chris, this is an astute writeup of the state of ColdFusion.

Totally agree on the many benefits of ColdFusion over PHP. I hate PHP but Wordpress is an awesome app. The contrast between Wordpress and Mango Blog, or BlogCFC, both of which I also use, is an example of the benefit of a massive community.
