I will agree with Tom on this one, I started using both CS and ModelGlue a while back, and at first didn't really 'get' what all the fuss was about, and didn't really bother getting in to it THAT deeply.
However, after a short break from it, once I'd adopted a bit more OO knowledge I went back to both of these frameworks and fell in love, they are incredibly powerful tools and once you learn to use them, and more importantly 'Trust' them, you will see the benefits. Auto wiring is a prime example of where trust can become an issue, relinquishing that control of injecting your own dependencies is really hard, but once you trust ColdSpring to do it for you, it really is quite incredible.

I think that might be the rub right there. With CS, you don't have to remember to do anything. With autowiring (for instance) you just write a setThingINeed() method, and CS will sort out finding and setting up a ThingINeed CFC for you. If you work in a team, or reuse other projects/peoples components, this is really handy. >my config file would make sure they are all loaded in the correct order >so that any dependencies do not fail, which to me is no different than >having to create the bean in the coldspring xml config file. In the CS world, the order you define them in the config file, and the details of the creation order, dependencies etc. are all done for you by the BeanFactory. This should save you time and work, esp. if your dependencies change. >From personal experience, it does take a while before you 'get' it.
