Well I started with PHP so it's a bit different - actually, I think I started with ASP but gave up on that almost straight away - but yeah, when I stumbled upon CF in 2002, after a couple of years of doing PHP, I switched over pretty quickly. It's just makes more sense and is easier to get on with.
Railo goes a step further, adding cool improvements, and (as a company) being far more interactive with the community than Adobe (which isn't surprising; Adobe only really cares about Photoshop/Flash/PDFs/etc, and mostly treats CF as a big cash cow).
Anyway... (kiss)
