usage-statistics

Hi,

I've heard of Coldfusion being a server side technology for web app dev.

Are there any statistics as to how widely it is used as opposed to PHP, Java Servlets and JSP or ASP.NET?

Are there any special features in coldfusion that make learning it worth the while?

Thanks,
jrh

PS: please don't close this question as argumentative. I'm looking for statistics and real answers. Thanks for understanding.
