Hi, >> I don't like: et al.
These are all personal preferences and, imo, don't really speak to the validity of Fusebox. I don't like ASP; therefore I don't use it, but that doesn't mean it is not a valid technology and very useful. I just don't care. :) I am sure it is fine you feel the same way about Fusebox. >> I like being able to see a URL and know which file to edit, without having to read some other file. I personally find myApp.MainPage to be fairly self explanatory... It's the main page of the root circuit. All I need to know from there is whether my issue is a qry, dsp, or act file ( you got to know that anyways) and I am editing. Beyond that I don't have to dig through non pertinent code to get to my issue. >> how often does #foo# change that you need to store it in a variable? Probably no more often than a dsn variable, but I never worry about setting up a request.dsn just to be sure. I believe this issue has been addressed in Fusebox 4, but then again what's the trouble of a single XFA for forms? >> you may argue that the abstraction provided by Fusebox is a better alternative than a lack of abstraction I argue that Fusebox, by virtue of abstraction, is organized against a standard. I hate digging through someone's app, crap all over the place, because it made sense to them. With a Fusebox app, I know what I am looking for and what I am looking at 99% of the time. You may be able to do so with straight CFML templates, but I have difficulty in some cases, so Fusebox solves this for me. I also enjoy the very simple and useful ability to reuse and edit queries easily and without having to come up with my own method; it's native to the established framework. >> I'd never have to be hired to fix a Fusebox application Nor would I be hired to fix a non-Fusebox app; that is very relative.
