Yes, from numerous standpoints: * Forces you to bring more structure to your code. * More structure == easier to manage. * You can give the project to someone else, if they're familiar with the framework they'll have a much easier time of hitting the ground running. For years I brainstormed rudimentary framework & CMS design on my PHP work. Eventually I designed a full framework with CMS myself, though I never released it, and the site it was used was since rewritten. Shortly after that I got hired by a CF shop where they had used Fusebox 3 for all of their work, lo and behold it turned out to be very close to a superset of my PHP framework - it was slightly more organized but didn't have the CMS overhead. After several years of working with Fusebox 3 and then to FB4 & FB5 I've started to see limitations in it (or maybe just my use of it) and have been looking at other frameworks to see how they could be used, and right now ColdBox looks like it might be the best direction - it IMHO seems to make a better balance of usability vs flexibility than similar projects (MG, MII, etc).
