It might help to note that many of the same principles of OO development with CFCs can be applied using Fusebox 4 as well as Mach-II. People are starting to build fully abstracted object models with CFCs. When they're built correctly, you can take that object model and use it with Mach-II or Fusebox 4 (or both) without much effort. The only thing that changes is the "bridge" between the framework and the object model. In Mach-II, this bridge is the Listener. In Fusebox, it is often a set of application-scoped manager CFCs that take calls from the framework and feed them to your business model CFCs.
I guess the point is, you can start honing your OO skills within Fusebox 4 and then whenever you feel like it give Mach-II a try.
