I will throw my $.02 towards model-glue:Unity. I have been doing OO based .cfc's now for several years, and MG:U really clicked with me. You have your model (which is basically events setup that fire off controller message-listeners). The model simply says 'ok, I have a request for something called X. Go run these controller actions (which will run queries, do actions, whatever you need) then invoke the view Y.
Your controller block is just XML saying 'I have an event called goGetSomething that is tied to a cfc named myStuff.controller, and called a function called getSomething' Your views just grab data that the model or the controllers stuck into a 'scope' especially for the view. They have decent documentation and tons of examples out there, and once I got started, adding in new functions and pages is a snap!

Looking for Opinions I am looking for several opinions on all these frameworks and any others. Currently we are trying to figure out which one(s) we need to focus on evaluating so start a plan to port our current system into a framework. Our current system is basically a ton of cfincludes with the data access display and business logic all wrapped together. We would like to of course standardize the way new parts of the application are built so all three developers are writing virtually the same type code. The application is HUGE with a lot of reporting, I would say that virtually 70% of the application is reporting. Many of these reports are driven from one time use queries - basically queries that cannot be reused in other places. One concern is that a framework might add too much overhead to the application because of the use of XML files etc. The only framework any of the three has worked with is Fusebox(2 thru 5). It is acknowledged that we really should start using a framework but we just don't know which one is going to scale the best for us and makes the most sense. As a side note - we do not have time to really "play" with all the frameworks to see which one we like the best - that just not possible.
