Sean, quick response as I am on my way out. The reason we initially pursued the replacement of Fuses with CFC's is that it makes very intuitive sense in some sort of Segue from FB3 to whatever FBMX becomes using CFC's sooner or later. Our view from here is from the standpoint of a company actively involved in developing FB - CF apps on a daily basis rather than from a theoretical-visionary standpoint. IMHO the core file in FB30 is one of the most elegant and intuitively usable pieces of CF code I have ever seen and it works very efficiently. Finding a good reason the recreate that is going to be difficult. I also think we are in a very different world with regard to what can be done in CFMX with more native support and manipulation of XML and the greater ease in creating and consuming web services. (And this was a quick response!)

That's interesting... Hal was pursuing an approach where fuses stayed exactly the same as in FB3 but the core became CFC based with an interesting plug-in architecture. I was very impressed with where he was going with that (hence my disappointment with the recent comments here in this thread). > So far I like CFC's no doubt they are not truly OO in the purest sense > but > they do bring some sort of order and possible sort-of methodology to > CF. Yes, and I think they've been implemented in a way that matches CFML's core concepts pretty well (better than they match Java's core concepts, for example, which I think is part of the disquiet and confusion about CFCs). > will continue to work on Taskmanager and use some of Hal's theories as > mentioned by Sean and I agree with Sean here I do not see CFC's as > such a > bad thing and I have no doubts they will mature with time. Cool... I'd be very interested in working with you (offlist) to see where we might go with this. I'd obviously like to see Fusebox embrace CFCs...
