Should I move to ColdFusion from ASP.NET?

    Hi,

    I've got a PTC site written by my using MS ASP.NET and C#: http://theptc.biz

    The problem is that I'm constantly having problems with my Windows servers. First, they are expensive (though it's not a real problem, I've got enough funds from the site). Second, I've tried several providers - they all have problems. Third, I hate Microsoft (oh who dare I!). Yes, everything they do is awful: IE Explorer (the worst browser of the world), MS Windows Server not supporting DNS and MS SQL, Windows Mobile and so on. The only thing that I like is ASP.NET.

    I really like C# but I thought that I have to change my language. PHP/MySQL? Never! Java? No! Python/Ruby? I don't understand that languages... So... the only thing remaining is Adobe ColdFusion.

    I downloaded CF 8 and tried it. I liked the speed (quicker than ASP.NET on localhost). I liked that it supports many platforms and databases. The only thing I didn't like is that "scripty" "taggy" language...

    What do you advise me? Stay with .NET or move to CF?

    Thanks

    CFML tag language is great! If you like more programmish language you can use cfscript, that is a big advantage. But you have to keep in mind that Coldfusion is usually built over java or .NET (in case of BlueDragon .NET version which is utilized at Myspace.com). Anyway, it is all of what you like more
