"I can assure you that CFCs are not an after-thought -- they certainly have their limitations and we've already seen some growing pains, but don't doubt that they are the single biggest improvement to ColdFusion since the introduction of Custom Tags."
Agreed. I'm really looking forward to the next version where these "growing pains" are no longer issues. There are too many of them for me to be convinced that going with full OOP is a good idea. If they had fully thought it through I would have jumped in head first. As it stands, my MX applications are basically just a re-organization of pre-MX applications, as opposed a completely different paradigm. - j. P.S.
