yeah, i don't know if i buy the response. using quotation marks
generally implies that you're quoting somebody. misquoting somebody
publicly, and suggesting that it was in jest... I dunno. seems
dangerous, if nothing else.

In my opinion, Joel has a very strong bias toward Microsoft related
stuff. I find it hard to believe that he "misunderstood" so badly
that he misquoted something so out in left field and in favor of
Microsoft. His continued comments about iPods and not being able to
replace the batteries are at least sloppy and at the worst anti-Apple
(http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HighNotes.html).
I am quite sure many people have emailed him to let him know about it,
but I am pretty sure he just writes whatever he wants and thinks his
audience will buy it.

Yes a misunderstanding. I have emailed Joel to ask him to correct the quote.
I did *not *say nobody used CF. I did say that it didn't matter that he
hadn't done ColdFusion because he could talk about general software
development issues of interest to CF developers (which he did, very
successfully according to the attendee surveys). Thanks for bringing
this to my attention! :-)

PS If you have suggestions for CFUNITED-06 please email me off list - we
are in the middle of the planning process for that now, even though the
event is not until June 2006. Heads up we will have the call for
speakers in September, so get ready to nominate your favorite speakers
and topics!

Fusion Authority will have an article up in a few minutes with a quote from Joel
covering this.

it wasn't that part that surprised me. when i first heard that MS was
going to be there, I assumed it was for 'recruitment' purposes.
what surprised me more was that an 'organizer' of a CF conference
allegedly made the statement that "nobody does [use coldfusion]".

I read the thing, and was at CFUnited. M$ did have a large presence
there and were giving out a lot of stuff. Every attendee got an
ASP.Net book in his pack.

skip down to 'The Conference'
"For some reason, a long long time ago, I had agreed to give the
keynote speech for CFUNITED, a conference about ColdFusion.
"I never used ColdFusion!" I protested.
"Don't worry. Nobody has. The biggest sponsor of this conference is
Microsoft, who have a huge presence trying to get the ColdFusion
developers to switch to VB.NET," the organizers told me."
curious who those 'organizers' were. I can't imagine that coming from
anybody at Teratech.
