Hey Michael. I've been using Wheels for about a year now and absolutely love it. I didn't use any official framework before Wheels and found It really easy to get setup and start building with. Wheels made MVC style development really easy for me and has some of the best documentation

Brian, Thank you. Love your input regarding CFWheels. I think thats the first one regarding its ORM. Never tried Hiberante, but now I think I keep it to Model-Glue, CFWheels, and FW/1. Good point about having CF8 and higher. I might want to think about using another for ColdFusion 7 because

FW/1 you say? I will definitely check it out. Never know, that might be the one. I have to be honest in that I know almost knowing about Rails because my last position was as a SQL DBA and was like out of the loop for a while and that might be a good thing because I don't know any better

I also second Daves recommendation about checking out FW/1, its very light weight, very easy to learn, and IMHO hits the sweet spot. On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 5:08 PM, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: Actually, CFWheels states in its documentation that it should be only used for medium
