It doesn't really have any benefits. It's an alternative, and an incomplete
one at that, to using the CFML tag-based syntax. It might be marginally
faster doing some operations, such as initializing lots of variables at
once, and it might be slower doing other operations. If you feel more
comfortable using it, go ahead and use it.

There's a reason UltraDev uses it. UltraDev supports three script
environments: CF, ASP and JSP. For doing things like looping over a query,
ASP and JSP have similar syntax. In CF, the best way to emulate that syntax
is using CFSCRIPT. It's actually less efficient to loop over a query using
CFSCRIPT, but it's a lot easier for the Macromedia guys to write code that
will work the same way in all three script environments.
In general, code generators aren't especially good at producing optimized
code.
