CF is a web application language. It's not a language you can write multithreaded GUI applications in the way you can in Java or .NET. It's not a general purpose desktop application language.
So if you know Java or .NET, presumably you can do more varied kinds of work like more robust back end processing applications or in-house GUI tools or shrinkwrapped software. CF developers write for the web and that's that. I have written backend services in CF and it's really not its strong point, believe me.
