This in an interesting thread with three current correspondents for who I have great respect (in alphabetical order of appearance - no favoritism) Barney, Hal and Sean <although Hal was sort of proxied>.
We have used Fusebox since version 1.0 and have built apps in all versions. FB30 is in my opinion the best framework ever created with any sort of user base for ColdFusion and pretty much the best for professional web application development. We had to present on FB and MX at a recent CF User Group meeting in Long Beach CA. So we would have something to distribute we finished the re write of the sample FB30 app "Taskmanager" using CFC's, mainly as replacements for fuses (with the exception of display fuses). To me this is a logical progression for Fusebox albeit a small progression. I also feel that those of us who used Fusebox will find it easier to segue into CFC's and how to use them. So far I like CFC's no doubt they are not truly OO in the purest sense but they do bring some sort of order and possible sort-of methodology to CF. We will continue to work on Taskmanager and use some of Hal's theories as mentioned by Sean and I agree with Sean here I do not see CFC's as such a bad thing and I have no doubts they will mature with time.

I don't understand why Hal is having such problems - I've offered to help him but he hasn't taken me up on the offers. CFCs work just fine and can be used to build high-performance, scalable systems. I think it's very unfair of Hal to claim there are "just too many problems with CFCs" without providing more specific details.
