Interesting that people's ideas of good programming style are so different.
I think we generally consider good style to be the way we as individuals
normally do it, i.e. consistent style is good style. I would always use
cfswitch where there are more than two static values to choose from,
therefore to me that's good style. I would also write <cfif
recordset.recordcount> and consider that elegant. Others find it appalling.

That's funny.  I find CFSWITCH to be far from elegant.  Mostly due to CF's
tag-based nature.  You end up with a lot more crap in your code where you're
closing each CFCASE block.  I think a CFIF statement is usually a lot more
readable as well as being more flexible.
