Indeed, we had a discussion on this and I was for not using evaluate (others were) - though I am not 100% against it, I have never seen bad performance with it all in all.

I ran into a case not too long ago when I had to use evalutate for some method calls but it was because I was trying to stay in cfscript, had I been using a cfinvoke I am pretty sure I could have avoided it. Typically anytime you are doing Evaluate("something." & somethingelse) you can avoid Evaluate() via using what I always refered to as the structure bracket notation. Of course this could get into a long drawn out debate on whether avoiding Evaluate() is even worth it now days in MX. I just avoid it out of habbit and style choice more than anything else these days.
