What? Connectivity Shakey at best? Sorry, but I've been using CF with native Oracle drivers on Oracle 7 and Oracle 8 on tables of over 3 million records and it's SOLID AS A ROCK! You are blowing smoke out your butt! Don't make comments like that when you don't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about!
It sounds like your "team members" are not disciplined to function as a team. There is a group of CF developers that have developed what is called the "FUSEBOX" methodology for developing CF websites. It is very popular and creates very "re-usable" modules. CF is like PHP, is like PERL, is like ASP, is like ANY OTHER programming platform. Some will like it and some will not. That's the GREAT thing about the WEB. There are so may ways to accomplish the same thing. You pick the one you like the best and you go with it. The results can be the same (if the programmer actually KNOWS what they are doing!) CF in the hands of someone like Ben Forta or Michael Dinowitz is much more powerful than CF in the hands of most of the folks posting here (myself included). It's the same for all platforms. So why BASH the product. If you like PHP, it's because you are better with it. If you like CF, it's because you're better with it!

Not suited for creating full fledged e-commerce applications? Nobody ever told Toys-R-Us that! Or are they not a full fledged e-commerce application?
