heehee ... i understand where you are coming from.
i do think part of it is being "trendy" ... doing something different.
Isn't that the "geek coder" way though? Find that something different
and do it to the extreme so others can only look and awe at your
inventiveness!
This particular feature is simply down to coding style preference -
period. There is no performance gain, no feature gain, its just wanting
pepsi over cola.
But isn't that the way of many features? I believe CFML, at times, is
its own worse enemy giving too much choice and allowing this code
permutation to pollute and confuse.
I am an active CFSCRIPT'er , that i will hold my hand up to. However, I
do not feel its really CFML at that point.
Andy and I have often mused about renaming CFML the language to
something completely different, break away from the pack and give it a
new breath of life. Because, CFML (Cold Fusion MARKUP LANGUAGE) the key
bit being "MarkUp", i do not feel CFSCRIPT falls under the umbrella.
For me, MARKUP means tags.

I actively hate this new feature. I mean other than being a pain in
the arse for the coders, what does it actually give you that wrapping
the whole thing in a cfscript block wouldn't ?
Is it cleaner, I mean really ?
Alan, please tell me its lower down the list than some stuff that's
actually useful :)
