Why I love ColdFusion

Because my first use of the ColdFusion AutoSuggest control took me 10 minutes to implement. I was doing a cfselect with a bind to load all cities in a state. Unfortunately, with more than 5,000 cities in some states the application was getting seriously bogged down with huge asynchronous http responses in the background.

Ten minutes later I have a solution in production and customers are happy.
