Like anything that abstracts code or markup like CFFORM, there's the pros of ease-of-use and the cons of lack of flexibility. I came to the conclusion long ago that the lack of flexibility in CFFORM not only outweighs its ease-of-use and useful widgets, it positively hinders its ease-of-use, if you're doing anything beyond basic in HTML forms. And like most auto-generated HTML, even from something as "advanced" and "standards-friendly" as CFMX, is totally invalid as XHTML. Roll your own and use qForms (pengoworks.com) if you need client-side JS validation...
