I still feel that clients waste tons of money hiring developers who absolutely
refuse to code to standards, using best practices, instead putting in their own
individuality and customizations which contribute nothing to the performance of
the web site, and in fact take quite a bit away from its efficiency.  In fact
you are hurting the propagation of ColdFusion server software by not adhering to
coding standards. This may also be a contributing reason for the short usable
life of so many ColdFusion web applications.

That methodology is acceptable for gamers who work a lot in flash who have the
need, or perceived need, to wow the client, but by not adhering to standards in
the mainstream, lessens your value, IMHO.

I personally don't do much development anymore, but still often stand as the
go-between (Project Lead ) with clients and developers I contract with.  None of
them who advance those cutesy customizations which do not contribute to the
content or performance of a web site, will ever be hired, period, end of story.

No offense intended to anyone

  It's not that big a deal Doug. I've done the same thing because I don't
  WANT people seeing blah.cfm. As a matter of fact I usually create a new
  extension every time. If my client is BMW, I'll make all the files into
  index.bmw or home.bmw or whatever. They're actually cfm files, but I
  just want the extensions to appear differently.
