It depends what your primary focus is. If most of your projects are focused on intuitive GUI's, than I'd suggest javascript. I must admin, I don't exactly share your view that js is that important. I find it more of a necessity in certain circumstances.
If you mostly work with data and want to speedup your development time, than web services are a great way of reusing code and / or transfering data. Be forwarned that the security implementation standards for sensitive data in webservices aren't within CF's grasp.

I just read an interesting note that said Web Services and XML projects are really taking off in the corporate world...I knew that Web Services and XML and JavaScript were things I needed to get up to speed on, but there only so much time in a day. So...given the fact that I'm a one-man operation with limited time to accomplish what's already on my plate, what would you recommend I spend my time learning, if I have to choose: Web Services and XML or JavaScript Hopefully, I'll get around to both at some point, but when you're responsible for sales, design, programming, tech support, and taking out the garbage, time is really limited...so sometimes you have to choose... (Realize, too, that I like being a one-man operation...I carry all the burdens, but the administration of the personnel department is soooo simple... ;o) Be aware before you answer, that I'm still on CF 4.5.2, so that may definitely affect the answer...given my CF environment of CF 4.5.2...JavaScript now and Web Services / XML later after a CF upgrade?
