Well... Since you asked... Erm... It's not that there's anything *wrong* with it. I think that the issue surrounding Fusebox (certainly up to version 3) for me were largely to do with it being a procedural methodology rather than an object-based methodology. I certainly did like fusebox before, and have used it a lot and contributed a lot a few years ago. However, I have found that it ties you into a certain way of thinking and building of web applications, that now is becoming less and less important. What I do think, is that it is important to separate out display from data from actions etc, but that these are inherently a fusebox way of doing it. Most people don't actually do full FB (certainly not with FB3 and below), they do however take the ideas and build on them with their own ideas. Separation of display/business logic etc and code reuse is good. You should be doing this anyway! That's why object oriented methodologies are nice to use, and why MVC is an important way of building web apps. However, saying that it must be Fusebox is BAD. You can build an application without using fusebox just as quickly as using fusebox. The difference is that with Fusebox, others who know it can read your code quickly. However, I have found with a well designed methodology, it's pretty easy to read someone elses code anyway! It just comes down to preference!
