We still have some production code that I support, but for the most part I've moved on from CF. Still, it is the language that established my career, in many ways. Custom tags well before client-side components were the rage, in-memory SQL engine (ie, take any recordset and query against it using SQL, without hitting a database), etc are features I still wish for using things like Ruby and server-side JS. The community and to a lesser degree Adobe tried to address the advantages other platforms had (like a first-class package manager) but it was too little, too late. Still, tools like CommandBox and the rest of the tooling by Ortus are actually pretty great.
I do find it interesting that client-side frameworks are "rediscovering" patterns from 25+ years ago :-)
