I 100% agree

It's not like a CFC automagically document itself, a lazy developer can
easily avoid to specify return type and hint attributes and you are left
without any documentation. CFC sort of standardize and automate extracting
documentation, but there is nothing like true "self documenting" (same for
JavaDoc).

If you care about documenting your stuff, there would be no differences
between CFC and custom tags, if you don't care... You will likely end up
with a mess anyway :-))
