I assume you mean ColdFusion (it's been a single word since at least 1999). CF has some definite perception issues, but does have a number of features that go against the grain of the thinking about it: several MVC frameworks, ORM, web sockets, multiple open source engines, an abstraction layer atop the JVM, asynchronous programming options, closures, etc. As for "previous era", it's the same age as Ruby, Java, JavaScript, and others. CF's disadvantage isn't the tech so much lacking an ecosystem such as what has sprung up around options like Clojure, node.js, and RoR.
From a developer's perspective - perhaps. But look at it from a business perspective (cost, risk management), and you'll often see it differently.
I would see nothing differently. I would still seek to educate other devs to experience other languages so they might change this problem you've pointed out.
And I would seek to educate people on modern and proper PHP.
