I'd agree that FW/1 is the natural FB successor - and it allows you to break it's mold without killing the whole thing (mostly because it's implemented as a single CFC - quite ingeneous).

There was a failed fork and then the community stepped in and created a barrage of better frameworks. Recently, Fusebox has been open-sourced (on github) and there is a small team of people working on the next version. It may be too little and too late, but still probably a worthy effort. Even still, I would not recommend going that way. Many people believe Framework/1 (fw1.riaforge.org) is the true successor to Fusebox. It implements a couple features the same way, and it was created by the FB 5 and 5.5 primary developer Sean Corfield. Depending on the size of what you plan to build, you may be able to shrink your selection. The more "enterprise" options are probably Mach-II, Model-Glue and ColdBox. They do a lot and have a lot going for them. ColdBox is the younger of the three, and probably best documented, Louis also does great training classes. Model-Glue hasn't seen a lot of action lately. Model-Glue and Mach-II are heavily XML based and (to me) can get overwhelming. The more casual options are probably cfwheels and FW/1, but like John Bliss said, go with whichever works with your way of thinking.
