That's not uncommon. I actually like to tell people I program in CFML just to start conversations :) For some CF apologetics, see my recent response to a PHP programmer:
But to your larger point, non-CF devs don't talk about CF because
1) They aren't familiar with it's recent state
2) The CF world isn't doing cool stuff that catches their attention.
It's my belief that the more CF devs do cool (and modern) stuff with CF and then talk about it outside of their little microcosm, the more visibility it will get again and start to shake it's "legacy" label.
