I can understand your frustration. I've never actually attended a MAX, but from talking with those that have, it has been gradually shifting from a developer conference to a designer conference. Each year, ColdFusion's presence has decreased, until it was gone entirely this year. Which is why Adobe is now putting on a ColdFusion specific conference in October (the ColdFusion Summit). That conference will focus entirely on ColdFusion development, and every attendee will receive a free ColdFusion Builder license.
The Creative Cloud definitely caters to designers and front-end/mobile developers - not the back-end server-side development (with the notable exception of PHP support in DW CC). ColdFusion and CF Builder are still being developed by a dedicated team seperate from all of the Creative Cloud hoopla. There are at least two more major releases of ColdFusion coming, along with corresponding releases of CF Builder. So don't be too eager to jump ship just yet.
The only constant in this world is change. All software companies and their products change over time, or they die. Maintaining redundant products or product functionality affects the profitability of any company. From a purely objective standpoint, Adobe's choice to remove the redundant ColdFusion functionality from Dreamweaver makes sense. That doesn't make it any easier to accept for long-time Dreamweaver users, or for long-time Fireworks users to accept that product's demise (and I'm one of them).
This might be a good opportunity to check out CF Builder as a replacement for DW. You might find, as many others have, that it actually makes ColdFusion development easier and more efficient (once you get over the learning curve). And you can use CF Builder to develop Railo applications too.
