I just find it too bloated and unmanagable. The concept is great and there are some cool ideas in there, but I find as a whole it defeats the point of a framework and methodology by being overly complex. For people or teams that know fusebox sure it is better than no framework at all and makes development easier. But for a developer who has never seen it b4 and comes in to work on a project, it is a nightmare to unravel that spagetti and figure out what does what. I am talking primarily fb3 here. FB2 wasn't so bad. I think fb3 is more a choice for an internal development team to use or the self employed, rather than a company who gets in consultants.
I have been all for methodologies and frameworks for a long time and have written several of my own since my days of 6502 machine code/assembler, so when I looked at it and it make me feel uncomfortable as a seasoned developer, I couldn't see it having a very good affect on less competent developers. The one I use now is very simple although it has scope to add as much additional functionality and bloat as you like if u feel so inclined and I have managed to teach it to complete cf muppets who I know would have not coped with fb3. Which is what I need as other people have to use the code and when I outsource work other developers have to code in the framework. Just my 2p.
