On the contrary we all have been writing code, not just CF, but ASP, C,
Perl, and Java for quite a few years. We even had a consultant from Allaire
come out and do a code review.  We passed with flying colors, under heavy
load, CF bogs down big time.  I'm not sure what you consider "heavy" but we
get over 500,000 page views per day, between ucomics, doonesbury and
garfield.  The problem became so bad that we wrote our own scripts that
generate static htm's nightly.  Our site is now 75% static and runs about
75% faster.  I'm not knocking CF at all it's great for what it does do, but
it does not scale.  I'm sure there are some others out there that agree.

I don't agree with your statement that CF doesn't scale. It will scale as
well as the code which is run on it. Possibly these people working for busy
CF sites are not experienced in writing scalable code?
