Is CF the right one for me?

i trying decide if cf right language side project beginning. not beginner web design far advanced. have made stuff in past , have knowledge of html. use write software in vb6 (nothing crazy small side stuff). embarking on project write intranet workbench software company. want serve salesmen ordering/tracking system project management system. big task , going break small pieces work on over time , continue expand , use it.

i have seen cf before , know people swear it. have used briefly have understanding.

my question correct way move forward on project.

first, web project vs. standalone installed product way go?
second, right technology (cf, asp?) have no knowledge of asp learning curve.

it not expected hit tremendous amount of employees. have 29 , going use access database server technology should less of bottleneck database.

i guess before start in wrong direction wanted feedback on direction recommend?

well if ask on coldfusion list, going coldfusion
answers. trolls telling run away -
that coldfusion kids language, dying language, out of date
language, ect, ect.

i happily use , make living coldfusion on day-in , day-out
basis. have nothing against asp.net, jsp, perl, php, python ect.
i have no overwhelming need use of them either.

i think big factors costs , comfortable with.
coldfusion more html like, asp.net , of others
more c and/or java like. coldfusion production servers (development
servers free) cost $1200 $4000 depending on version
need. otherwise need coldfusion host run
$20/month give or take $5 more reliable companies.

with coldfusion going bunch of extras, verity
searching, built in report capability, charting flash , xml forms,
gateways enterprise version , more. if not going
to use extras, value you. use them all,
that relatively uncommon practice.

if have more specific questions, of try give
honest answers.
