I don't think I have a single positive thing to say about working with CFML. It's literally pain from the moment you begin until the moment you free yourself from its evil hold on slow moving businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ColdFusion Builder? Everything. Starting with the fact that there are two syntax's that are not equal. It's a half assed version of the worst parts of javascript and the worst parts of xml ideology. It's awful for modern applications. It's difficult to learn. It's horrible to use on a Mac. Or any \*nix. It encourages anti-pattern after anti-pattern. The community is awful. I mean awful. Anyone who was good moved on years ago. Anyone still using it is either forced to, or hasn't bothered to look out the window in a while. There's very little help available. I had to use OpenBD which is an open source CFML implementation, which only further complicated learning by being ever so slightly undocumentedly different. Everyday of writing it was a maddening endeavor. I've used a lot of languages, on a lot of platforms, compiled and script, and none are as frustrating as CFML, at least, OpenBD's version of it. Using CFML today is like using a pair of scissors to mow your lawn and watching all your neighbors use riding lawnmowers. I'd recommend literally anything else if you are starting a new project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ColdFusion Builder: Don't. This is a dying tech stack. It has the worst community. It has a fractured community. It hasn't evolved meaningfully in years. For the love of your employees, coworkers, families, children, puppies, parents, bosses, neighbors, the community and country, do not inflict this awful nightmare upon yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ColdFusion Builder solving and how is that benefiting you? Nothing. Delays. Unwieldy garbage code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
