People talk shit about VB more than any other language. Most calling VB a toy because it is easy to create applications with. Ironically, VB is used in every Fortune 2000 company and has the largest developer base in the world mostly because of its ease of use.
CF seems to suffer from the same thing. It is quite simply the easiest language to build web applications in and as such is considered a toy by some, while many Fortune 2000 companies use CF for internal web applications because of this.
