CF is ALIVE!
I started using CF in 1996 and still use it nearly every day. I built my business around it and spend most of my time running my business and doing maintenance coding and adding new features. I've used fusebox for a LONG time.
Watching the latest 2020 beta with interest
I love CF! Sadly, management is pushing for us to move to WordPress/PHP in the very near future. Our developers tried to make the case to stick with our current path, but management already had their minds made up by the time they told us.
There is a need for more ColdFusion Users groups support from Adobe
Lucee is now preferred server, we strongly encourage all CFdevs to contribute to this project through the Open Collective.
in my opinion, we need frameworks such as CFWheels to ditch jQuery in favor of React, Vue, etc to create JavaScript enhanced view pages.
Thank you for doing this! I look for to it yearly!

I freaking love ColdFusion. And, I love how much Ortus Solution is pulling this community into the modern age, kicking and screaming!
Thank you

Allaire like Jesus needs to return..
Thanks for keeping the CF torch burning 🙂
Thanks.
How CFML handles the transition to serverless will determine its future viability. Adobe's refusal to allow anything but enterprise on the cloud negates a lot of the good work of the CF team.
I am FULL STACK SENIOR COLDFUSION developer. I have more than 17 years experience to work on LARGE SCALE applications with BIG TEAMS all over the world.
I LOVE TO WORK WITH COLDFUSION.
Have a look into my following profile:

I maintained really good repute by providing QUALITY work on TIME.
I'd like to know how people are warding off attempts to move too low-code solutions like PowerApps.
I love CFML, I've been using it since Macromedia owned it. We need a marketing campaign that let's the business world know that it's still here and still supported. No one other than CFML developers think it's still a thing.
Great survey, long live CF (esp. Lucee)!
I think you should focus on making all current features 100% bulletproof before adding new features.
It is scary to update to new versions as things break. For example, I use a lot of PDF stuff and one of the upgrades changed how every PDF looked. Impossible to change hundreds of source files so I downgraded. Will work on it when I have time. New releases that have potential to break code should have a warning and tips on how to fix it
Easy integration with java
I run a customized version of Lucee 5.3 that I made which reduces the chance that it will ever become unsupported while I'm using it. I patched or removed several of the complexities and problems it had that I don't need. I'm Bruce Kirkpatrick, sometimes I talk on the Lucee forum. I don't see CFML as a third party thing to worry about anymore having made it my own thanks to the quality of the open source project and my desire to learn Java & JVM bytecode. I felt like it was more important to lock down what I need and keep it stable then to have new features, or bloat.
Finding ColdFusion work is almost impossible these days.
Adobe should market CF more and should focus on not loosing relations with the organisation already using it and should focus on it by highlighting benefits which organisations are not aware of because they only see the license cost and no one from Adobe is doing the job highlight the other side of using CF.
