CFSCRIPT isn't an entirely separate language from CFML. It has different syntax and statements, but shares the same operators, and commands map to the same underlying functionality as far as I can tell. That is, if you loop in CFSCRIPT using a for-next loop, it's going to generate the same Java bytecode as the analogous loop in CFML. One-based indexes don't make any more sense with tags than they do with script, either - if you're new to programming entirely, they seem acceptable, but if you have any prior programming experience they don't seem like such a good idea (or at least they're not what you're used to). My theory about that is that CF was primarily aimed at people without a lot (or any) prior programming experience.
