That's an interesting point. Since 2001, I've mostly been working with CFML - despite my C++ / Java background - and that's a community that has around 800k developers (according to Evans Data Corporation's survey in 2008). One of the biggest concerns that is commonly voiced in the CFML is around the availability of CF developers. We hear of companies who are switching away from CFML to "technology X" because of the difficulty of finding (good) CF developers. It's hard to know for sure whether that's really the reason for their shift - I think it's a convenient excuse.
