That's a little like someone saying "If XYZ are such wonderful cars, why don't more people drive them?" There are competing products, each with their own strengths. There's marketing. There are pseudo-religious beliefs that steer developers to different platforms. The marketplace finds its own balance points. There are approximately as many CF programmers as there need to be. If one development environment clearly was head and shoulders above the rest, then someone else would simply copy it and then there would be two.
Quoting long lists of web sites that use CF is not going to convince anyone. For every CF site of a given size and complexity there are at least 100 comparable sites done in ASP. And probably at least that many done using PHP, Perl, JSP, or take your pick.
