Let's face it, CF isn't going to grow as a developer platform unless MM put the legwork as Allaire did into it. however, since MM took over Allaire (or whatever they did) it's been obvious that MM's focus on CF was nowhere near as sharp. They have done little to outgun .NET even though there are certain good features in CF.
My personal opinion (and it's a personal one) is that CF is not going to last in this country. I suspect that even the big CF sites will eventually move over to ASP.NET at some point. I for one will not be too unhappy (having learned ASP.NET when it was in beta) and also having learned Java/JSP etc at roughly the same time.
There's an "all eggs in the CF basket" thing going on with some people, and my advice is diversify. Go with ASP.NET (C#) or PHP or poss Java/JSP (although the market there is pretty saturated as it is - but there are jobs!) and keep CF as a backburner. It's bad business practice to not have other skills anyway!
