Agreed, cfml is not a framework. As evidenced by the fact that you can write cfml procedurally or OO, you can do everything in custom tags, you can mix presentation and business logic or separate them, on and on. For years, I used a home grown procedural framework using some of the ideas from an early version of Fusebox. It worked quite well and I did a lot of projects in it and made clients happy. I've now switched over primarily to OO-style CF development and I use Coldbox as a framework. I love the MVC pattern and the OO stuff is really clicking for me now. It took a lot of pondering to grok it but now that I have, I find my code is a lot tighter and easier to refactor. The refactoring is probably the biggest thing. Maintainability in a fairly large scale project is key, even if you are the only guy working on it. I'm not going to give a guy shit for being a procedural programmer. OO and Coldbox are just rocking my world right now and my code is better as a result.
