The phrase "use what works for you" comes to mind. I don't think a lot of people that DON'T use Fusebox are "opponents" -- but many have credible reasons why they don't use it. Just because Fusebox doesn't tickle someone's fancy doesn't mean they are tearing it down. I have my own methodology and framework, and to say that people that have their own "secret sauce" keep it from others intentionally is ridiculous. It's like political arguments -- people just can't accept that what THEY think isn't what everyone else thinks. Also, I don't have the time to publish my framework, and I could care less if anyone thinks it's because I am "keeping" it from them because I think it's "better" than their precious Fusebox. To tell you the truth, I've seen better arguments here against using it than for using it. I've also seen people get angry when others refuse to adopt it. I think the underlying psychology is "they don't like what I like, so they don't like me, either." I'm not saying that about everyone that uses Fusebox, but some people are downright fanatical when other people actually give reasons and specific examples of why they don't think Fusebox is a Godsend. It's not an attack on it, it's a debate. People are allowed to do that on here, aren't they, or is this one of those times when something is so glorious it should just be accepted without any scrutiny? You would think that people like Dave Watts just came on here and said "Fusebox sucks, don't use it", instead of taking the time to give their feedback on it based on real-world interaction. I've witnessed the personal attacks against a lot of people who don't use it -- just another sad attempt to discredit someone or some company that doesn't use it by stooping to levels unbecoming of a professional. -- Andy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
