I'll second Rob's response. CFCs provide a much needed option for encapsulation of complex (and even non-complex) "business logic" (for lack of a better term) in ColdFusion. I have found them to be enormously useful in making my apps easier to build and more maintainable. I've also found that my actual code reuse from application to application has improved with CFCs.
Oh, BTW, Doug's sentiments are exactly the kind of FUD I was talking about.
