chossing a methodolgy

I've been coding CF for around 12 years now.  I've been using fusebox 3 since it came out and love it.  I can do a site pretty quick with it and I'm very comfortable there.  So comfortable that I haven't looked any further. Not a good thing for growth. As I've grown as a developer, my applications have become more comlex, and the way some things are done in fusebox 3 feel a bit kludgy to me now. So, It's time to try something new. I tried fusebox 4 for a few days when it came out, couldn't get the basic app to work, and gave up.  I'm willing to give it another go, and noticed they are up to 5.5.1 now.  I'm considering investing the time to give it another try. The documentation link under Learning Fusebox for 5.5 is broken.  Only tutorials are for fusebox 4 and earlier.  The book is $40, a bit much I think. So, before I spend $40 and, even more valuable to me, time, any recommendations?  Is fusebox 5.5.1 worth it or should I go to something else? Thanks.

There are so many really good frameworks out now that I would use almost anything before fighting with yet another version of Fusebox. I'm moving everything to FW/1 as it is clean, simple and easy to use. > > So, before I spend $40 and, even more valuable to me, time, any > recommendations?  Is fusebox 5.5.1 worth it or should I go to something > else

so two people mention fw/1.  Haven't had a chance to look at it yet but will today.  Any tips for someone coming from fb3? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

You're likely to get as many opinions as there are people on this list. I haven't used Fusebox in a while (for no particular reason). ColdBox is a good modern MVC framework that comes with a lot of out-of-the-box tools if you want to try something new. http://www.coldboxframework.com/ If you want something uber-light weight and simple, try Sean's FW/1. http://fw1.riaforge.org/ If you want to play Framework Roulette, go to Charlie's framework list, close your eyes, and point your finger at the screen.  :) http://www.carehart.org/cf411/#cffw_app ~Brad I've been coding CF for around 12 years now.
