I love Mach-ii. I started playing with it about this time last year and at the time, we weren't using any sort or framework for our CF Apps at all. I had used cfcs primarily as function libraries and mach-ii seemed to be the best choice for learning how to use cfcs more effectively. As has been said many times on this (and other) lists, it isn't mach that's hard to grasp but the whole OOP concepts that you have to use (which are pretty hard/different if you don't come from a strong Java or C++ background). I've learned more about OO from using mach-ii (and lists like this one and mach-ii's) than any books I've read. The only down side of mach-ii for me is that organizing the config file can be pretty cumbersome.

Dunno, I only read the docs and followed the mailing lists. There seemed to be quite a few newbies who stumbled with it so I decided it was one framework I didn't want to invest my time in. I wonder if it's still used much or whether most folks opted to move to ModelGlue. Maybe there are still some benefits to using it. Dunno..
