As a CF developer (among many other languages) for bordering 15 years now I have come to accept the blanket rejection of the platform. I had to smile at the stats above because I have to wonder if the number of people who have marked "dislike" have even used it (or at least any time recently)
As I write this there are about 2200 votes apiece for both PHP and Python, two languages most people will have an opinion on, so lets make an assumption that's somewhat representative of the voters to date. Also at the moment there are 500-ish down votes for Coldfusion. From my experience it seems suspect that 1 in 5 developers, or even 1 in 6, has worked with Coldfusion enough to have an opinion on it outside of external influence. This type of trend probably also applies to other languages, in both directions.
That said, on Coldfusion, it's far from perfect but it also gets a pretty unfair judging in my personal opinion. Just my 2c.
