The only advantage would be if you, as a coder, prefer the IIF() format over
the <CFIF><CFELSE>... format. Where performance is an issue, stay away from
the use of ColdFusion's dynamic functions such as IIF() as performance will
definitely suffer.

Subject: IIF vs if,else
Ok, after a bit of testing... can anyone tell me what the advantage of IIF
over if (<cfif> or if () {}), else (<cfelse> or else {}).
I tested a simple block of code using IIF and <cfif><cfelse></cfif> & IIF
ran twice as slow...
I can't see any major advantage by using it... yeah, it is kinda similar to
i = (true?1 : 2); in javascript but it's really slow case of the implicit
evaluate() on each part. Would be better if it was implicit & made explicit,
IF NEEDED.
Can anyone give me a decent reason why IIF is better that <cfif>?
