I particularly enjoyed the use of the word 'uninitiated'. I'm familiar with Fusebox, where's my robe since I'm an initiate?!?
At any rate, after having used Fusebox 3 for the last 6 months on a number of already developed apps, I can say that there are good ways and bad ways to build a Fusebox application, but nor am I sold on Fusebox as a solution I would specifically choose. However, I would choose Fusebox over no framework/methodology. - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Spike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 4:33 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Plum vs Adalon? > > > The question is not being in favor or not.

From the fusebox.org site: "the system addresses development problems such as unmanageable complexity, wasteful redundancy of effort, time-consuming code maintenance, and slow development speed. " I'm not a fusebox zealot, but I think it does achieve those goals when used properly. Like any tool, in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they're doing it can just add an extra layer of indirection making it harder to follow the code. The same is true of any structured approach, not just Fusebox.
