I don't mind using tags for tags, i.e., custom tags that are mostly display elements.
For anything that contains logic, I prefer to use cfscript. I find it easier to read/write than tag soup. Oh, and with the hot deployment available now on most java servers, refreshing stuff is only an ant task away.
