its funny how the simple things tend to stay the same. I created my first framework/methodology more than 10 years ago now back in the days of CF4.5, it was a really simple affair that had a global config file and allowed you to pass ACTIONS on the URL to specify which section (component or controller by today's standards I guess) and method to call. Inside each section (folder) you had a pagemaster.cfm which defined the layout (view) for each section and passed control to sub-sections (e.g. index.cfm?section1.subsection.action). Then along came fusebox which did pretty much the same thing although with a lot more bloat, and fw/1 pretty much works along those lines too.
