Hi Nick, In ColdFusion version 5 there was a slight performance increase in using code written in CF Script. Now that CF is fully compiled into Java byte code I'd be surprised if that's still the case in MX (although I haven't checked). In terms of debugging, CF seems to be able to point to errors written in the tag based syntax a little more accurately.
It's really just a personal preference thing now. Personally, when writing large chunks of code, I find cfscript syntax easier to read. It also clearly distinguishes the business logic code in a template from the presentation code. Having said that, there are some times that writing in the tag syntax is more readable eg. using <cfloop> to loop over a list; using <cfoutput> tags. So I use whatever syntax is most appropriate. There will be plenty of CF developers who work differently, but now that functions can be declared in a tag based syntax there's no clear reason to always code one way IMO.
