I write code that way because it is required when writing XML and valid
XHTML. It's simpler for my poor old brain to remember to always do it
that way than to do it one way in most tag based languages and another
in ColdFusion.
It also makes code more readable for me because it is a more declarative
style.
If I see this:
<cfhttp url="blah">
There may or may not be a </cfhttp> somewhere further down the page,
whereas if I see this:
<cfhttp url="blah" />
I know there isn't one.

This is pretty way off-topic but I was hoping to get a census on this.
I'm constantly reviewing code samples and resumes for a number of
firms and I've started to notice with more frequency that some CFers
are writing CF as if it was XML. I'm not really sure why.
I'm not seeing any benefit in this, and quite frankly it just looks
wrong. So I was wondering if anyone could point out why anyone would
write cfml in the following manner:
<cfset temp = "this is my variable" />
<cfreturn true />
Am I missing something here?
