>From the other side, after using fusebox the last couple of years, I have grown accustomed to not having to worry about the origination of the var, and that I can just refer to it by attributes.var - This is helpful in modularizing your code as well as reusing some functionality in other parts of the app. No right or wrong here, just a preference and a coding style.
