I think that Java is much more common than .NET in most enterprise systems, and since CF is just a J2EE application now, that makes it an easier sell than it used to be. You can write a CF application, create an EAR file containing CF and your application, and give it to your J2EE server administrator and say "deploy this", and they can do it without knowing thing one about CF.
