Thus far I have only seen one example where someone was using a CFC for the UI. I never got to see the actual code but his explanation made it sound like a good chunk of the business logic was in other CFCs and then he had a set of CFCs for the UI portion. Without really seeing the code, I always had a hard time seeing how this approach was any better or worse than just have a custom tag for that portion of his UI. That example though was not just one CFC to display the information, it used 3 or 4 I think to build it all up. What he was displaying was exactly what we do here but with custom tags and we probably use the same amount of tags as he was using CFCs.
