Model-Glue coined its name from the idea of "glueing" the Model to the application, thus Model-Glue.
These frameworks represent a more Object Oriented (OO) approach to creating applications. When using Cold Fusion Components (CFCs), you have distinct types of developers. A great deal of developers think on how to get data to their application as their first premise. The OO approach is more service oriented.
SOA or Service Oriented Architecture is how these frameworks tend to think. Instead of focusing on getting data, you have a service that has a specific purpose and the data is a secondary consideration.
Doug is right to point out that first you need to grasp ColdFusion first and understand how to use a component before diving into the ocean deep idea of ColdFusion OO frameworks. Even ColdFusion veterans will have adaptation problems with modern ColdFusion frameworks.
There are those who will argue that frameworks are unnecessary. There are an equal amount of those who will advocate frameworks until they are blue in the face.
Do you need them? No.
Would other developers recommend them? Yes.
What are the two most likely future ColdFusion framework leaders? Model-Glue 2.0: Unity and Fusebox 5.0

wow, what a can of worms! Personally, i'd worry about learning CF
first, add frameworks in later. Frameworks are a sort of guide to
building a application that a group of folks have a consensus on.
Thus developers working on a project that use say ModelGlue can easily
use the same vocabulary and if you add a new developer in the mix that
knows ModelGlue, then they will already know the vocabulary and
seeminlgy join in quicker and easier to the current conversations.
