Why not? The environment is feature rich, runtime performance is fantastic, developer productivity is exceptional, and integration is compelling because it runs in the JVM. Yes, the JVM. So even if Lucee doesn't do what you need, you can natively call upon countless Java features like javax.script or javax.crypto, or third-party Java libs like JSoup or Lucene with just a couple extra lines of code.
And yes, like any language, it doesn't stop you from writing incompetent and stupid shit. The one big knock against the ColdFusion-inherited language is that the templating syntax is often overused for writing code, when it also has a great C/Java/JS-style scripting syntax.
