Also, to Richard's comment about "enterprise" features like clustering: that's a feature of the JEE system, not the CFML engine, so yes Railo's great in a cluster. In fact, Railo has features for clustering that ACF does not have, such as the ability to use a shared cache or storage system (ehCache etc) for session scope which is great for failover without needing to worry about session replication etc. Railo supports many different caching systems (and can even use MongoDB and CouchDB as a cache!). Railo also provides a complete Web Administrator for each web application context, completely isolated from others, with a Server Administrator to control overall defaults and security access etc (so it's great for shared hosting - check out Alurium which offers Railo-based shared hosting for as little as $3 / month). And, just to echo what others have said, Adobe's hard at work on the next version of ColdFusion with a lot of great features and has also invested a lot of time and effort into a really good dedicated IDE in the shape of ColdFusion Builder - a product I love and use pretty much 24x7!
