I'm not questioning Fusedocs value as a planning tool. However, if I'm
going to go back to something previously developed, I want an accurate
definition of what a piece of logic does. A description of what a
component was supposed to do is only so useful because the template
could have been edited by other developers and the documentation not
updated.

To this date, I have never seen an application that was accurately
documented and religiously update, no matter what method was used during
its development and maintenance before I got my hands on it. It just
doesn't seem to happen on the scale in which I work. Even my own efforts
are lacking, but I try.

To this extent, I'm very excited about the CFC explorer. I'm even
excited about the possibility of integrating Fusedocs with CFCs, though
that is a project for another day. :)
