CFML is still my preferred development language because you can develop web applications quickly, securely, and using modern OOP patterns. Adobe ColdFusion 2021 advances the language significantly in a leaner, meaner, installation package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ACF 2021 now uses a modular approach to installing the software. I always have a difficult time determining which modules need to be installed. Previous versions included all of the essential modules which made installation quick and easy. The new version complicates things a bit - especially if you use tools like Commandbox to spin up servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CFSetup configuration tool allows us to install just the functions that we need and eliminates overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The "per core" licensing model is such a departure from version 2018 we believe we will have more issues with the infrastructure on the rollout. 8 cores per license is too low. Think 32. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Adobe has done an excellent job in this new iteration of ColdFusion server. The focus this time around seems to be on cloud-based application development and delivery. The modular approach to installing CF has a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it translates to much leaner server installs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish the CF Administrator was designed more for advanced users. The "wizard" approach is great for new developers, but for a mature language, I actually preferred the old ACF 2016 administrator interface much better. I wish Adobe offered a free community edition to help onboard younger developers into the CFML space. The cost for the standard edition is daunting to many new developers or small companies.
