Well i'd like to see some of the brilliant udfs on cflib.org as part of coldfusion, some of the functions i've seen are so cool you wonder why macromedia never thought of them. Every day i'm about to write some logic for presentation purposes or something similar and when i check cflib theres almost always already a udf which does it. i think udfs are underused by most developers but are in my view one of the greatest elements of cf as it allows me to use functions strictly for code readability and not have to worry too much about the performance.
