I've been using it for a few years for personal projects and have recently moved several clients over to it, one is a mission critical app that will kill people if bugs are in it, well it won't actually kill them, it'll just not save them.
I also have a client (one of the largest companies in the world) who has Adobe cf applications, but I run locally also on railo express, I use railo express to optimize the app ( see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRpET9PUayI), but test and run it on Adobe cf. My goal is to move this company over to Railo, I have quite a few other tasks to get through first. I have a few clients where they've brought in non CF devs, and to be honest they were vomiting at CF, mostly because of 3 things, preconceived views from the 90's, CFML based classes, JRUN. Once I introduce them to Railo and say "here, it's open source, grab the code from here and knock ya self out" its a big psychological relief, many developers these days have gone their whole career only using open source languages etc. Railo's CFscript is quite easy for non CF Devs to get accustomed too, I don't think you could ever satisfy a good developer to use CFML if he/she isn't already a CF dev. Personally I think its best for a code base to bring in *great* non cf devs, I've worked with some devs who after 4 weeks of working with Railo were better than any CF devs I've worked with in the past regardless of CF experience. It also helps to use a good framework like Coldbox, I've had several Devs come in thinking they know how crap CF is and tell me how their language/framework has OO,ORM,AOP,DI etc and give me a smug look lol. now I'm rambling.
