After reading my own post, I realized I was a little unclear. When I say "easy to work with," I meant that it was pretty easy to get into and modify from a developer's standpoint. I'll agree with another poster that users find it really overcomplicated and initially seem to have a very difficult time learning how to use it. When I set it up for www.juniorlinks.com, it took them months to finally get to the point where they felt comfortable using it from an administrator's point of view. On the other hand I've used Snitz, Phorom and phpBB several times with the exact opposite result. They're very easy for people to jump into from an administrative standpoint. I'm actually going to be putting together a site with CFMBB in the next couple of weeks too. I think it looks like it satisfies just about every need you could have for a Forum app.
