A 4th generation language can have bugs and allow exploits, just like
3rd generation languages. Despite the version upgrade, you still have to
write scripts or programs (and care about security issues, which arise
in the scope of your script). A CMS is a ready-to-use product, that
*should* take care of such issues and rule out any security issues in
the scope of the scripts of the application.

CF is a PITA, but, yes, it's "usable" (some - or rather few - people
even *like* CF). I've never used the term "trust" with a language - they
are "flexible", "concise", "comfortable", etc. I don't know what a
"trustworthy" language is.
Besides, I don't know why CF is considered a 4GL (according to
WikiPedia) and PHP is not.

Sounds like a discussion for discussions sake.
