It sounds like it's a first impression problem. Which is ironically what CF has suffered from since day one. Many still scoff at CF based on a first impression they got about it in the 90's or early 00's. Sadly people who have tried it and been disappointed (be it CF, Railo or whatever else) aren't very likely to initiate giving it another shot.
