Doug, We're actually finding it much faster to code CFC based applications now than purely procedural style CFML apps. Add in emerging frameworks like Mach-ii, and I think you'll find that once past the initial learning curve, the benefits become much more apparent.
Of course, part of the beauty of CF is that you can now code procedural, hybrid, and OO - take your pick. I'd also argue that apps don't need to be complex in order to take advantage of CFCs. Take Ray Camden's blog.cfc. It isn't really very complex (no offense Ray!), but it is a perfect example of encapsulating functionality in CFCs. I'm sure other list members have similar stories. -Rob >>>hmm...interesting. The more I hear on this discussion the more I wonder just how much CFCs are even needed in day to day apps. How many apps are really complex enough to use them? But then I wonder, to me CFML is a "4g" styled procedural lang encapsulating "3g" styled langs, is this abstraction really needed in CF? Throw in the fact that a web app typically has a short life span and I wonder even more. ...some random thoughts on this topic.
