As you say it, I notice some parallels. A small team promotes ColdFusion as a revolution that goes against standard practices and is totally better. Most call bullshit on that with some uptake and research. A fringe builds new tech on top of ColdFusion &amp; replications (open-source). All kinds of new, proven stuff comes out of both mainstream and comp sci over the decades. Occasionally, sales people still crop up talking about ColdFusion as a real benefit for developers. They&#x27;ve seen people kick ass with it.<p>Then, the rest of us were like: &quot;Oh, nevermind.&quot;
