Mostly #2. ColdFusion comes with a lot of built-in stuff that makes OO programming possible, like cffunction, cfobject, CFCs, etc. Like I've said before, I'm not saying that frameworks are bad, I really think they fill a gap in the CF community. But it is not true that you have to use a popular framework to have reusable, scaleable, flexible code. But, like you've said, people maintaining your code after you will have to learn how things work. But that can be said for anything. What percentage of the CF community uses FuseBox? If a developer has never seen FuseBox code before, it will take them time to get up to speed before they can maintain it, regardless of how many frameworks they have or haven't used before. Now, how much time it takes is a huge variable, but just because the app is in FuseBox doesn't guarantee that subsequent developers are going to be able to jump right in. It helps, but chances are just as good that the next developer is going to hate you just as much as if you had written it procedurally. ---------- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
