For what it's worth, I've been giving the whole issue of Fusebox and site 
architecture some thought lately (hopefully to appear in a future CFDJ, Alan), 
and one of my major conclusions is that Fusebox is a very good for application 
designs across a variety of application scopes.  The issue isn't the 
methodology, it's the understanding of the site, the application's role in the 
site, and the standards established by the site/application architect.  The 
great thing about Fusebox is: it makes you start thinking about things in an 
analytical fashion.

At the bottom of it all, every problem consists of two chunks:  analysis and 
synthesis.  You've got to break the problem down (analyze) into small enough 
pieces to understand each one.  Only then can you put together (synthesize) the 
pieces of a solution and, in turn, the complete solution.  Fusebox is a tool to 
facilitate analysis of problems and synthesis of CF/ASP/JSP/YourEnviroHere 
solutions, ergo Fusebox is good.

Finally, one observation:  for Figleaf's "glue" approach to help me develop a 
better application, I have to either work for Figleaf or hire them to develop 
for me.  Works for them; does nada for me.
