Here are some reasons I gave on Why CF is great in a talk at CFSOUTH last weekend:
* RAD
* Easy to learn
* Lots of functions/tags in the box
* Tag based <CF> </CF>
* Separate files with hyperlinks
* HTML by default
* Extensible CF and CFX tags
* Standards: HTML, SQL
and of course the CF Community!
* CFUGs
* Conferences
* Speakers
* Listserv CF-talk
