Cold Fusion is Dead

From: garygll on 6 May 2008 17:55 After 12+ years of using ColdFusion, I am sorry to say that our company is saying "goodbye". 1. Poor (to no) support (really poor) - this forum has 39 people on it right now - compare it to SQLServerCentral - horrible. 2. Memory leaks - everywhere you read - our servers are crashing weekly (at a minimum) after upgrading to Version 8 - big mistake - lots of headaches. Bottom line - Adobe didn't want Cold Fusion. They had no choice, Macromedia had already purchased Allaire. Cold Fusion is a "red headed" step-child in the Adobe house - even Adobe wishes it would just go away. Our customers DEMAND more from us than Cold Fusion can deliver.
From: BKBK on 7 May 2008 00:13 Oh, please, don't start. You begin badly with version 8 instead of 801 and 2 forum posts in 12+ years.
From: tclaremont on 7 May 2008 11:29 Your post seems to reveal more about your company than it does about Adobe or ColdFusion, since there are plenty of shops that make ColdFusion work for them on a daily basis. Why you would admit to such a thing is bit of a puzzle, though. Smart move not to mention your company by name.
From: ToBeNamedLater on 7 May 2008 11:40 I think CF is a reasonably good product. It's got lots of issues, but overall, I'd give it a B. I do agree with the support comment, though. There really is none from Adobe. Of course, there wasn't any from Macromedia either, so nothing's really changed. The user community is really the only venue for support.

99% of how well CF runs for you depends on your system administration and developer skills...If you know what your doing, it will run great for you. |
