Unfortunatelly, I cant say that my thoughts of this kind were inspired by some sort of web market analysis. I do work as a web development team manager, act as an webprojects architect and also I'm realy very interested in modern development technologies. So, I do hear a lot of Python, Java, PHP which is becoming more and more serious development tool for both well-educated and experienced programmers and school-boys who just want to create their own guestbook/webchat. And for a couple of last years I haven't heard of ColdFusion much. I have some sort of example here. ozon.ru -- the largest Russian online bookstore (it's not a bookstore now -- it's a supermarket like amazon.com) was the first Russian e-commerse project, which looked seriously in 1997. It was created using ColdFusion. But several months ago (maybe year and a half -- don't remember) it was recreated with MS ASP. I do have some dozens of freinds who work as web-developers. The use Java, ASP.Net, PHP. I know none, who uses ColdFusion in his work, though ColdFusion is a relatevly old technology. So, that's my ugly point -)
