Cold Fusion is a great language and can be geared towards lower end
developers (nothing against CF Developers. I have been programming in CF
since it was called the DataBase Markup Language and love it, but it is not
very difficult). It has the same amount of scaling as an NT box does. The
more money you pour into the hardware, the more you will get out of it.
As far as scaling to 500 servers with all of the web servers caching the
database, I believe that is overkill. Microsoft.com, being one of the most
visited sites on the internet (according to media metrix), only has about
150 web servers and another 60, live for use, SQL 7 boxes, and they do just
fine.
With regard to jsp and it's scalability, if you have one developer that is
not as well versed at closing and killing a connection on one page, you can
lose all of your connection pooling in a matter of hours.
Those are just things that CF takes care of for you.
