Absolutely. The same can be said for .NET but its not because the languages
are superior but more of an ability to provide solutions to broader range of
clients.

Because by doing that, you lose the rapid development capabilities provided
by CF. I've used CF in conjunction with COM and, more specifically, the MS
XML parser quite effectively. Would I say that ASP would've been better
suited for the job? Absolutely not. CF worked admirably and I reaped the
rewards of turning the code around *very* quickly.
CF is not the end-all, be-all of web languages but if I can leverage to
provide a good solution, I'll select it over something else any day.
