I've found that a lot of people get "deep" into one area of CF without getting a lot of "Breadth" of the language. I doubt think that is unique to CF, though. It doesn't surprise me that a developer doesn't know cfqueryparam.
IT no longer seems to be a field where people are ecstatic about it and want to live and breath IT 24/7. Some people just want to do there job and go home. There are always exceptions, of course, but they seem to be exceptions rather than the norm. I bet the number of people using frameworks in CF is very low (compared to the number of CF Developers). The number of people using an OO framework like Model-Glue or Mach-II is even smaller. I would expect an intermediate programmer to understand basic OO concepts, even if they are not framework aware. You're more than welcome to say "but a developer should take it upon himself to go out and learn". I agree (probably most people will) but not everyone does it.
