I don't think you will find anyone who disagrees with that! However, keep in mind that there are many ways to achieve the same end result in programming so even though you might have a decent command of the language, you may run into times when you don't follow the approach because you would have chosen a different one yourself. For instance, I use Fusebox with application A and you come along and say you don't know what the hell is going on.... that does not mean either of us is any less of a programmer, it simply means we do not agree on the approach taken even though there is nothing wrong with the approach that was taken! You follow me? You can't discredit an application or the ability to easily follow it just bacause you are not in favor of the approach. > If he needs to learn some dialect above the language, plus a > religion about the language, then it makes everything > complicated for nothing and maintenance more difficult. I would say that if you are not open to learning above and beyond the first 5 chapters of the CF WACK then you are in the wrong field. There will ALWAYS be better ways to do things and shorter, faster, more efficient means to reach the end. Not everyone is going to code like you nor can you expect that. Either expand your knowledge and deal with the fact that the ability to do things differently exists or refrain from making such ridiculous claims such "complicated for nothing" and "maintenance more difficult". I have worked on many applications, not necessarily Fusebox related whereby they were solid and easily maintained and expanded and some not so. Same goes for FB apps. > The second point is that I'm not convinced that it makes > things easier even for those familiar with the framework, > even if they all claim it does. I am not sure you are in position to even make such a claim considering your have very little experience with Fusebox. I would also venture to say that the people who do use Fusebox would disagree with you about the framework NOT making things easier. It sure does make things easier and more organized or people wouldn't use it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
