BreakawayPaul, - Couple of points I'd like to make here... One, CF is not going away. But Adobe's support and view of it are apparently changing more to the enterprise side of things and less to the small to medium applications and self-hosted or shred host environments. Which brings me to my second point.
ColdFusion si a CFML server, not CFML. CFML is now more than ever an open source web development language. Railo and Open Blue Dragon (I prefer the first) are both very capable open source CFML servers! So there is no need to switch to .NET - Stick with the very effective and powerful language that is CFML, but move to a more open environment. Running CFML on Railo may take a few tweaks because of the way Railo enforces a little more strict coding policies, but any ColdFusion based CFML app can be made to run on Railo. So it's not an either - or proposition. CFML is still awesome, and with an ever growing open source movement will continue to be so.
