Why are you so laser focused on believing that one has to "just be better" than any other? Why *can't* it be personal preference? It's not an "open playing field" and we don't all know the same stuff. I just recently got into fusebox and chose it because i didn't have any prior experience with frameworks and figured it would likely be the easiest for me to learn. Next I'm leaning towards Coldbox because I've heard that it's got ridiculous amounts of documentation available which again... would make it easier for me to learn. But I don't for a second believe that one is "just better" than any other. If that were the case, the others wouldn't exist. Yes, a Lexus is "better" than a Yugo. But a Lexus also costs more than a Yugo. Comparing cars to frameworks in this context doesn't really work. I really think the reason you're having a problem getting the answer that you're looking for is because you're discounting the only right answer which is...
