Cold Fusion - why?

Thanks to everyone for the help with .asp vs c/s speed. If I may...

What does Cold Fusion have (if anything) over .asp?

A longer name?

Sorry, not sure there are any CF experts here. You'd probably get more
objective results from articles and reviews, than asking a "which is better"
question in a newsgroup devoted to one side.

I started lookng at ASP .Net recently and it seems to look a lot like CF as
I remember it.

CF was good because they had so many example snippets. They could be used to
build applciations with, and its GUI tools were good.

I havn't looked at CF recently but I wouldn't be surprised if ASP .Net
replaces it - in the same way that Micorosoft .net products are causing
Borland users (like me ) more towards Microsoft tools.

I've worked with both CF and ASP for a few years now, and I think CF
does have its place. It has things like email built-in that ASP needs a
component to do. It also makes rudimentary programming simpler by
removing advanced options. And, it does have a more
user-friendly-looking web-based admin module (the Systems guys let me
peek at it now and then). So, it's good for keeping things simple.
