That is a HUGE generalization. First off, if conditional logic is needed, use it; that is what it is there for. How can conditional logic be "amaturish"... what is your alternative... avoid conditional code? How does cfset relate to cfif/cfelseif/cfelse? You can't compare the two as they serve two different purposes. Compare cfif/cfelseif/cfelse with cfsitch/cfcase if you want, that would be more relevant. > I tend to agree with this statement. Why? > Somehow beginners tends to use more CFIFs than the experts. Wrong. I consider myself pretty damn good at CF and I use cfif when necessary. What is too much? What makes an expert! > Have you attend any of Hal Helm's or some of the experts' > presentations? Their code seems to have a lot less CFIFs and > more CFSET. I don't need to see Hal's code to know how to use cfif and cfset... although I don't mind as he is a great presenter! > They just seem to organize things better. Yes they do! Fusebox and Mach-II are hihgly organized and structured which is why they are so appealing to me and many others. > don't want to turn this into a big discussion here.

It seems the issue does need to be discussed if you think "a lot" of cfif constitutes "amaturish" code.
