I definitely agree, however one thing that should be pointed out is that you *must* include the CF runtime in the resulting EAR/WAR file. So if CF is already installed into the same instance you will be deploying to, and you don't want a separate context root, EAR/WAR deployment isn't really an option -- sourceless deployment via the cfcompile utility is the way to go in that case.
