CF has OO. CF is more OO than Java according to Sean Corfield's
article in that latest FAQ-U (Vol II, Issue III, pg 7) because it has
the onMissingMethod handler like SmallTalk and Ruby.

CF has built in PDF, FTP, image handling, ExtJS grids/trees/etc,
encryption, etc etc. What does PHP have that CF doesn't (apart from a
whole stack of inconsistent and redundant functions)?

Don't get me wrong, I like PHP and use it a lot, but CF is truly state
of the art. I don't agree that it hasn't changed much, it has changed
a great deal.
