Fusebox has been really good to me when I've been able to use it. It's nice to have the structure ( particularly in FB3 since they've condensed it and it's a lot simpler now )... Once when I downloaded the core files from fusebox.org there was a small bug with an undefined fusebox.homecircuit variable although it was easily repaired -- when I went back to download them again at a different location, apparently that bug had been fixed, but there was also a change in the manner in which the fusebox.circuits string elements were interpreted, which took me a few minutes to sort out since I'd been used to a different syntax... I didn't notice the version on the core files changing between those 2 times, although it may have. The only other thing I will mention is that if you think you may need to use <cfflush> for anything, you should put some additional forethought into the site layout and how you want to approach that. You may find that you want to continue to use the FB3 core files nested layout stuff for the majority of the site or application, however, any page which requires <cfflush> will not be able to use the current FB3 core files layout features, because it places the bulk of the page content ( non-layout ) within either a <cfsavecontent> tag or a custom tag, neither of which are allowed to have <cfflush> within them... Though Hal recently confirmed that the fusebox org are currently working on a new model for layout.
