I don't know if there is *no reason* for it. How about this
public class testing(){
static fakeobj playing;
public testing(){
playing = new fakeobj();
}
public setIP(String ip){
playing.ip = ip;
}
public void init(){
Thread blarg = new Thread(){
public void run(){
playing.connect();
}
}.start();
}
}
While you could write all the code in the constructor, I think you would
loose the ability to to create an instance of this and then start it up
later.
Looking at this though I do see your point, but I still like using the init
type functions for certain things.

There's no reason those properties couldn't be set in the constructor
function. That's how most languages would handle this issue. I wouldn't mind
seeing some sort of actual constructor function added to the CFC
architecture, instead of just using the "soft" constructor which simply
consists of stuff not wrapped within CFFUNCTION tags.
