I never cared for cfforms. I'd much rather roll my own JS validation and replace things like Javascripts annoying alert() function with something a little more tasteful. Cfform won't do that.
It won't highlight fields in question. It won't auto focus to fields in question. It won't validate fields 'on the fly'... (Say when you focus off the field or something) And it usually doesnt play nice with other javascript that might already exist in the page. :) ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I don't know about forms being easier with cfform, except for the validation. I LOVE using cfform's validation options. Much easier than building a bunch of JS by hand. And yes, I do server side validation as well, but as long as the user has JS enabled in their browser, client side validation is a nice user friendly feature in web forms. And client side validation with cfform/cfinput/cfselect/etc. ROCKS! ------------- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
