FWIW, I don't think it's that easy to become a "good" CF developer, either. Yes, it's very easy to learn the language and it's easy to become "competent" at it (i.e., being able to build something that works). But to actually be "good" (best practices, advanced topics, etc.) isn't necessarily simple. In fact, because it's so easy to get up and running, in some ways, that might make it harder to become really good, because you don't need to in order to get things done.
Java is definitely much more complex -- especially for people just getting started -- and more powerful. But, I believe that if you're someone who is actually good at CF (i.e., you're actually a developer rather than a coder), you can learn Java.
