Wow what system are you using? Our Sites have over 1000 CFM files that do
the balance of the application. Thats just one of our services, the others
are getting there too. And i can tell you that we have a *unnoticeable*
increase in load on the box or even lag on member boxes with people who
still have 28.8K connections. And as for calling Fusebox a fad i think you
are just being silly, i mean whats a fad..a fad was people who used to walk
around with bright PINK fanny packs, now thats a fad, why is FUSEBOX not a
fad?
Well i'm glad you asked, Fusebox is not a fad because what it is, is a
Development Methodology that was developed to help RAD (Rapid Application
Development) which it does by making everything uniform to where you will
always know where to look for things, and it even helps when you still use
uniform naming conventions.

I think that client want that because they are smart and forward thinking
because they want there application to be able to be maintained by another
developer much more easily then with other styles of coding.

And again i have seen many companies who use FUSEBOX and are large, as well
as our own which is large and we use standard naming conventions and we
still find it a good idea to use the methology. But its nice to see you
saying that people who use Fusebox will be writting poor code and
applications in essence.

I would highly disagree with the fact you say Fusebox is only for CF
Beginners, if you want i can give you the url fusebox.org and you can go
read through its pros and cons and then come back and we'll compare with
your list here =). You'll find alot more Pros then cons.
Next time sit and think before you start talking about things that you are
apparently not
very well versed in
