Not necessarily. Truth is that by having it all built in on one place, you are simplying your life, not to mention that when you do run into trouble it's easier to get help and solutions.
I'm sitting here asking myself, why you hate ColdFusion so much. It sounds to me like you are just being negative because you prefer using third party tools. Third party tools are cool, but at times they are tedious. Did I mention no support? Truth is that in this world, you get what you pay for: The cheap is expensive, and the expensive is cheap! By that I mean, if you try to cut corners, simply because it's $500.00. in the long run when the application crashes and the author of the module you used is no longer available, you'll be stuck with a non working application. The truth is that THAT is the beauty of Coldfusion, an all in one solution that is really affordable and easy to use. Think about that for a bit....
