PHP can do some things internally that CF would require custom tags/CFX tags for, but the same is true the other way around as well. With PHP you also lose CF's debugging capabilities. I believe it's more popular because a) it's free, b) the source code is available so you can customize it if you want, and c) it runs on more platforms. I still like CF better though.
