We all seem to have hills that we're willing to die on because we believe that said hills are objectively the right choice. Vim vs an IDE; tabs vs spaces; functional vs object oriented; relational databases vs document stores; single-file components vs separation of concerns; single-letter variables vs intuitive variables; ORM vs SQL; Go vs ColdFusion; Angular vs React; single-quotes vs double-quotes; idiomatic vs pragmatic; monoliths vs microservices; REST vs GraphQL; the list goes on and on ad infinitum.

https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-query-of-query-supportI removed the single-threaded HSQLDB callback for grouped/aggregate and distinct selects and tuned the performance. QoQ's are a bit of a polarizing feature in CFML. They've suffered in the past from poor support and poor performance which has caused a lot of people to avoid them. There are certainly places where queryMap(), queryFilter(), and queryReduce() are the best approach, but there are also times where you simply can't beat the readability and conciseness of an ordered, aggregated select. I know developers who tell me they never use "reduce" higher order functions because they are too confusing, but I've never met a developer who didn't understand "GROUP BY department"!
