Well, then, we share a good many of the same ideas, Dave! I don't view Fusebox as a faith at all, true or otherwise. I think we've seen far too much in the last six months of ardent believers convinced of the rightness of their cause. No matter the cause, they always produce the same horrible results. That's why I'm not here to convert anyone to anything. Indeed, if I'm urging anything at all, it's for people to come to their own conclusions-another thing we agree on.
I have had quite the opposite of your experience-I find that Fusebox tends to help developers focus on the forest and NOT on the trees, but experience, too, is something that just can't be argued with. I mentioned the word, "animus", not because I feel that you don't get it, but because some people seem to go out of their way to attack Fusebox with the same fury of creationists attacking evolution. In both cases, I'm the one who just doesn't "get it". -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 12:34 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Fusebox (was: I like CFMX) > In response to your question to Steve, Tim Heald asked us to > respond to some Fusebox talk on the CF-List.

Well, frankly, one of my gripes about Fusebox is that, whenever someone voices an objection, it's framed as "animus" - an attack against the one true faith. I'm not trying to convert anyone one way or another; my sole, though oft repeated, objection is that Fusebox developers tend to miss the forest for the trees. To a certain degree, I blame Fusebox for this. You could argue that this isn't the fault of Fusebox, or that I'm mischaracterizing Fusebox by making this argument, but in the end, the response to my arguments tends to be "you just don't get it, Dave". I realize that you personally have never made this argument, and I'm probably being unfair in throwing this back at you, but there you have it.
