Amen to that, i have been using fusebox for a while now, and my opinion is that it is
another layer of stuff on top of what you already have to do.
I think i would p[ersonally tone down the fusebox methodology myself, it needs to be
alot less complicated to trully be a catch all solution.
When the fuse breaks its maddening, and is just another layer to run through to fix
stuff.
And i don't buy the whole makes it easier to bring in other programmers, because
almost all of them will have to learn fusebox and the particular way its used where
they are working.
I still like the idea of a methodology, im just not sold on fusebox
