Haven't looked at it myself, but my business partner tells me that PHP4 is looking pretty good these days.
He thinks that maybe the developers have learnt some lessons about how the various tags and functions look and feel from CF, as its much more friendly and requires less of a propeller head to be able to code. Maybe that's why they went with PHP, but yeah, from that presentation, those are some lame excuses for not using the other languages, especially the CF excuse!
