I've implemented ColdFusion systems at a number of fairly big names. 

Like others here I've encountered resistence because finding CF developers isn't 
straight forward (it isn't something our Project Managers have heard of) they also 
like to know that there are other companies out there using it, a kind of safety in 
numbers thing.

I've often had to compile lists of comapnies that use it and also demonstrate that 
there are enough CF dvelopers available to cover their needs once we've left.

I think the usage of CF is grossly under-reported. I've seen quite a few installations 
at places that you wouldn't immediately think of as well as knowing about a number of 
Intranet apps that aren't exactly visible.

All of this would benefit from a higher profile and generally greater awareness.

MM in the UK provide precious little support outside of CFUGUK and not that much for 
CFUKUG. MM UK have had a poor reputation for years, you should have tried getting 
support out of them for Director (their flagship product) 5 years ago. 

Almost everything gets referred to the US as the guys here are all sales and not much 
else. 

What the solution to this is though I have no idea.
