As far as I'm concerned, you can do no better than to focus on learning CF and common-sense development ideas, without bothering to use the relatively limited framework that Fusebox provides. I've seen my share of unmaintainable, non-functional, non-portable Fusebox applications, and to think that learning Fusebox teaches you common-sense development ideas is a bit dangerous. Now, I've never said once that if you use Fusebox, you should stop. However, I have said that I don't think it adds anything valuable to the development process, or the organization of code within your application. Frankly, organizing CFML code is something to which you can apply common sense, without following a narrow, unnecessarily restricted framework. Fusebox, in my opinion, simply doesn't address the important questions that arise during development, and spends too much time addressing the trivial questions.
