Actually this thread kind of interests me. My company is still doing large ammounts of CF work so I find myself somewhat emmersed in CF only apps, and end up oblivious to the differences in it and other languaes (shortcoming / advantages etc). CF does everything I need / want it to do now and forseeabley in the near future and rather well I might add.
Like most other Web Developers I have the obligatory few years of ASP, VB, PHP experience (havent really been able to delve into .NET yet) and I still find that CF is the most useful in the majority of my projects. Besides, this thread has been about the different thingt languages can / cant do well / not very well, and imo are applicable to this list. If this list were supposed to be about code only then there would be no debates on code efficiency / standards / best practices and quite frankly I would not get as much out of it.
