Interesting to hear that coldfusion is still being used pretty strongly... I come from the Flash community, and I have used C#, php and soon Scala for back-end stuff.

What does Coldfusion offer, or have that appeals vs just using php, python, etc. I am not trying to be a jerk, just really curious... I almost never, ever hear of people speak of coldfusion.
