I used cfengine for 2 years. After switching to puppet I relised that I'll not chage it ever for something else
Puppet has a realy great community and support. So you'll find mode help about puppet or patches if needed than cfengine. This is my opinion. I know there are people out there how think cfengine is better, and if cfengine works well for them thats fine for me. But cfengine in my opinion does't have a bright future as puppet.
So my advice is to go with puppet.

cfshow
cfengine(8) System Manager's Manual cfengine(8)
NAME
cfshow - Dump cfengine databases
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/cfshow [options]
DESCRIPTION
cfengine is a language based system specifically designed for testing and configuring unix-like systems attached to a TCP/IP network.
cfshow is a tool for showing the contents of the internal databases used by cfengine in its operation. Many users will not care about these
internal details, while cfengine manages the system transparently. More advanced users might desire a simple way to dump the contents of
these databases to text, for reporting purposes. HTML and XML versions of the output are provided for easy integration with reporting.
EXAMPLES
cfshow --locks cfshow --last-seen cfshow --checksum cfshow --active cfshow --audit cfshow --classes cfshow --regex
These show the named databases.
OPTIONS
Here are all of the options supported:
--help (-h) --debug (-d) --verbose (-v) --locks (-l) --last-seen
(-s) --performance (-p) --checksum (-c) --classes (-C) --filename (-f) --regex
(-r) --active (-a) --version (-V) --html (-H) --xml (-X) --purge
(-P) --audit (-A)
FILES
cfshow reads cfengine internal information that is normally stored in the Work Directory /var/cfengine.
