Shawn, I did a review of the RDS Plugins not long after FB was released. While it is a handy tool to get you 85%-90% of the way, it is limited in that it doesn't handle on the fly changes to db architecture, requiring you to re-run the wizard. Some people place their independent logic, additional queries, etc. in separate CFCs, extending those created by the wizard. In doing this you keep all of your code whenever you re-run the wizard. Others don't use the wizards at all, but will use an ORM framework, like Reactor, that will automatically rebuild objects on the fly whenever the architecture has changed (within development mode), in conjunction with ColdSpring's AOP capabilities for generating remote facade components for the remoting calls.
