I tend to agree. Although I'm a big fan of the C-like structure of
language, many operations are simply easier in tag use, while some
others are easier to use and read in script. Since the move to Java I
have mostly heard that the performance benefits that CFSCRIPT once
offered are not nearly as applicable any longer.
So I recommend using what is comfortable for you vs. what is acceptable
in your organization's standards.
Cheers!

Use cfoutput...that's the type of operation it was made for and the
performance difference does not justify an inability to read your
code, let alone the fact that the difference (if any in your
particular case) will probably be near, if not completely irrelevant
in future versions of CF.
Most of the complaints against using tags have to do with control code
that is not outputting anything because the cf compiler tries to
output the space between tags and in some cases do extra casting.
There are some other smaller situations, but that particular case
seems to have the largest affect performance-wise. Still it is not
noticeable in most cases.
Look at your debug times or use cftimer and you'll realize most of the
time its not worth rewriting your code in a less legible format. I
have not gone out of my way to write anything in cfscript for
performance reasons and I have yet to have problems with a page
running incredibly slow because of using tags. Usually, when I use
cfscript it is for the readability benefits that format offers with
doing a lot of structure creation / access and function calls.
Just my quick thoughts on the subject,
Mike.

Does using cfscript provide much better performance? I have been
trying to incorporate this into some of my applications but the
functions that I can use in cfoutput (or cfloop) provide a great deal
more flexibility. Perhaps I just do not know all that cfscript has
to offer.
The current issue is I would like to display an alternate image if
the image that is trying to display does not exist. I can do this
easily in a cfoutput or cfloop with a <cfif fileExists>. However it
seems to be a much more convoluted process using cfscript.
Any recommendations?
Thank you!
