Jochem and group, I completely agree. CFForm's implementation can be cumbersome, unintuitive, and sometimes downright buggy. I find it much easier, and more functional, to write my own form validation scripts. The little buzz I've heard about XForms sounds very promising, and I also think that would be a good direction for MM to concentrate.
