Thank you for implementing this, I really appreciate your effort but I 
don't really understand the cynicism here about CFWheels or frameworks in 
general.

I know it's a tongue in cheek remark but to me a framework has it value.  I 
dealt with fusebox in the past and I really didn't like it so I understand 
where these remarks are coming from.  

However if you worked with Ruby on Rails you just have to admit it's a very 
efficient and beautiful way of writing web applications.  And more and more 
Coldfusion programmers are moving towards it for the very same reasons.

CFWheels in the end is just Coldfusion code but with a lot of ideas from 
Ruby on Rails to make life easier, great ORM and plugins like scaffolding, 
database migrations and so on.

I actually like the way it forces me to organize my code in a better way, 
it also prevents me from doing the same things over and over again and 
saves me incredible amounts of time using handy built-in functions instead 
of reinventing the wheel for every new project.

I have no doubt that people on this forum are insanely great coders that 
don't need a framework to churn out beautiful & well organized code but for 
a mere mortal average programmer like myself it's a great help to prevent 
me from cooking up spaghetti code and to get things done in a reasonable 
amount of time.

Just give it a try (now that it should work on OpenBD) and you'll be amazed 
how much fun CFWheels is.
