I wonder a lot of the same things. I just started picking up CF since that's what we use at work. I consider it a character-building exercise but I don't hold out hope that knowing it will bring me enjoyable work in the future. It seems a lot like PHP in some respects -- there's a lot of hacky CF code out there from the dark ages of web development, so maybe folks are just judging the language by that. Or maybe it's the Adobe association. They've got kind of an evil-empire vibe that I can't quite articulate (and could be imagining). In 20 years, maybe CFML devs will be like those mythological COBOL folks who got lured out of retirement with huge contracts to prop up awful old enterprise systems once the kiddies stopped learning it.
