I personally don't like FB and wouldn't use it. But my own framework is similar in some ways, just a lot simpler.
-----Original Message----- From: Barney Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 November 2005 20:52 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Mach-II vs model-glue Fusebox 4 was developed specifically for CFMX, and doesn't use OO or CFCs. Just because it don't have the buzzword compliance doesn't make a framework bad. Heck, FB3 which was designed for CF4 is still a very viable framework. Which isn't to say you should pick up a new framework (or three), of course. I happen to like MG better than M2, but it's more of a style thing than anything about the frameworks themselves. I think MG is more helpful in distinguishing what is controller code and what is model code (assuming you're using an OO model behind the scenes) than M2 is. On the flip side M2 is older, and while I can't say it's necessarily more mature (Joe's done a great job with MG), it's certainly not the newcomer on the block. But don't discount FB4 either; it's a very capable framework, and I'd pick FB over MG or M2 for most things. You'll also want to consider things like Arf! and/or Reactor for persistance stuff, and Tartan and/or ColdSpring for some of you model stuff. FB, MG, and M2 are all UI frameworks, not whole-app frameworks (though you FB4 is designed to support whole-app development). There's a lot more to building web apps than just the UI. Bottom line, I don't think there's a way out except to pick a set of alternatives, give each one a try, and see which one you like best. There's not much you can do with one that you can't do with the others, so it's really primarily a personal style question, unless you're all about the buzzwords. cheers, barneyb On 11/19/05, Snake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have decided it is about to upgrade my framework.
