Afraid so. I used to work there. The codebase is at least 15 years old in places. Team of 4-8 people looking after it and rolling out changes. Self-written CMS as well.

Every now and then somebody gets the idea of rewriting it in something else. Problem is that while it may look simple ( "I just need templates for front, section and articles pages") there is a lot of extras (see the 4-8 people and CMS). Note that newspaper companies don't have a lot of money these days.

I've heard they are having another go at it. For one thing it is hard to get CF programmers these days.

MetaFilter too, in professional white. http://mefiwiki.com/wiki/MetaFilter

Lots of sites! Big and small. There are even several excellent Open Source CFML engines.
