The fusebox methodology has many benefits, and I really don't think it adds any time
to the development cycle. In fact, I'm pretty sure it helps speed up development.
One of the greatest advantages of the style is that you can modularize you code, and
in doing so, you can assign pieces of your application to various developers without
worrying about them stepping on each other's toes.
Another advantage is that because it is a documented approach to programming, the next
programmers won't have to decipher your unique style in order to pick up where you
left off.
Another advantage is that certain companies (such as mine) require it. So if you
don't do it, you're not going to get a job with certain companies.
Lastly, it's very simple to follow the programming flow of a fusebox app. When
something goes wrong, you simply search for the fuseaction in the index file and then
you'll see right away all the templates in a single handy block that could be involved
with the problem.
I'm sure the folks on the Fusebox list would be happy to help you more with this.
