Shane, you can indeed "attach a debugger" to CFMX (using
Eclipse, as Haikal Saadh requested yesterday). That's exactly what FusionDebug
is (fusiondebug.com).
No, it's not free, but it's because as you hint CFMX is not
"done like JSPs", so the company (Intergral) had to go through some hoops to get
it all working. Still, for less than 300 US (with an additional
10% discount if you use CFCOMMUNITY as a code), it is indeed the very
interactive debugging that many have long wanted. I do realize that
there are many who don't think much of step debuggers at all. Let's not open
that discussion here.
For more on FusionDebug, as well as my take on why people
should be interested (and back and forth comments from others who don't care for
debuggers, and my rebuttal of 13 benefits of it over using CFDUMP/CFOUTPUT), see

Java 5 lets you do this (JConsole). We have to do this with Tomcat some
times... it seems once you give Tomcat some memory, it really doesn't like
giving it back until you make it! This could point us in the direction of future
releases of CF running on Java 5 or maybe even Java 6 (which
should be released soon).
Leads into another interesting idea of attaching a Java debugger to the VM,
but unless it is done like JSP is, you wont be able to step through the CF code
(I know WebMacro can't be done like that). Maybe that is one direction that
could be explored... its late and I really have to stop day dreaming. It
probably has been explored and found to not be feasable
