Figured I would put up a poll on fellow Coldfusion coders opinion on CFScript. (And since there hasn't been a CF poll in a while )

An application was handed to me yesterday coded in about 80% CFScript and I cringed .

According to Ben Forta, there is nothing that <CFSCRIPT> can do that CFML tags cannot do (which was not the case pre-CFMX), and there are no real performance gains in using <CFSCRIPT> (which was not always the case pre-CFMX).

(Article here: http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=e&entry=1416)

So with that said, For those of you that always use <CFScript>, why do you use it over standard CFML if there is no performance gain?

Jason,

Sometimes, I use CFScript.. Depend on personal taste.. For example, I'm originally a C/C++ guy.

in CFSCRIPT I would write this:

for (i=0; i LT 10; i=i+1) {
...
}

Cheers,
