Cold Fusion was originally released by Allaire around 1995. It is now owned by Macromedia when they merged with Allaire. Cold Fusion was supposed to be one of the best products available. It just became too expensive to buy. I believe a single server license is around $1,200.00 and the enterprise editon is around $6,000.00. So why pay this when you can get ASP or PHP for free. It's also easier and cheaper to find ASP and PHP developers than it is to find a Cold Fusion or Java developer.

There are still many companies using this products and it has a lot of great functions. I use it myself for one of my clients. Macromdia must be pushing this product to make it seem like it's the next best thing but in reality it's been around a long time.
