It's not FB as much as someone using it who does not know what they're doing with it. 
yes, I have issues with some things about FB but I can fix them. But having an 
apps_global file included in 5 different includes connected to a page is just poor 
programming. I'm faulting the code of the package rather than FB directly. 
CF makes it easy to screw up. FB makes it easier. If you don't know what your doing in 
CF then chances are you really don't know what your doing in FB.
And on a scale, this code probably hits every number. Here's a few numbers:
1. pounds in CFSET vars
2. pounds inside quotes in CFSET vars
5. CFIFs used in place of CFSWITCH statements
6. No set structure of code use. IIF on one line and CFIF on the next one.
10. redundency (again and again and again)
