The more I learn about Fusebox, the more I am starting to enjoy it! I can certainly say that there will be many more questions along the way but I feel safe in the knowledge that there are experienced and patient people here who are willing to help, makes it a lot less scary!

Just to add to Brian and Jeff's comments.... Going back and taking care of bugs and reworking code is all part of refactoring. No application is 100% complete ever, IMO. Rather is reaches a point of acceptable performance/function/reliability. Until you are happy with it and as you learn new and alternate ways of doing things, refactor, refactor, refactor! :-) You can continuously expand your app and Fusebox actually lends itself nicely to enhancing and improving. For instance... let's say you didn't know about the benefits of cfqueryparam and cfprocparam. In FB you know that all the affected areas are in act_ and qry_ files and maybe some plugins. Chances are you can make the changes rather quickly. Another example... lets say you want to start and incorporate CFCs. You can rearchitect your application in your favorite design tools and slowly swap pieces in and out due to the modularity that FB provides. I have been working on the same app for over a year now and can tell you that is has gotten much smaller in terms of code, but 50x more efficient and stable. Keep up the good questions Andy!
