I'll second this. Call the features roughly equal, PHP's performance remains
great at least in to the 80 db-hit/second range (I haven't yet run a server
getting more) and it's completely free. With the exception of their attitude
towards security problems, Allaire isn't a bad company but I just don't see
much for the money. (Versus PHP. If it was, say, CF vs. ASP, the time it'd
take me to choose CF is measurable only in a laboratory.)
