Another reason to use <cfinvoke> is that it allows you to call a method that
isn't known until runtime.
<cfset object = CreateObject("component", "com.somecomponent")>
<cfset method = "bar">
<cfinvoke component="#object#" method="#method#">
You can't really do this in a reasonable fashion using the procedural style.

That is probably because a lot of us come from a procedural programming
background (like C/C++) and generally tend to prefer working in a more of
a procedural style.
In CFMX (because everything is compiled) I cannot see there being any
great difference between either method other than the "procedural" style
(as opposed to tag-style) being a little less cluttered to read and
write).
Of course, that is only my opinion.
