basic manipulation in CF is an absolute pita - so much overhead for simple things like clobbering a header value.

but by allowing JS/whatever, it gives you an infinite landscape to work with the values in a language that a wide range of people grok.

it's just a matter of getting a decent deployment setup so you can rinse and repeat easily.

but i agree, it's a freaking jack hammer where most people need a small tack hammer.
