As impressive as CFWheels and its documentation have become, I still didn't realize how powerful CFWheels can be. It took me a while to figure out how to use ColdFusion custom tags effectively. But, on the Wheels side, every time I need a piece of data or a function to access the data, it was already there for me. Its like CFWheels knew what I was going to want before I did. Amazing!

Hello Raul,
I started using cfwheels more than 2 years ago. That’s when I experienced the seemingly stalled development and incomplete docs. Today it’s terrific! Coding is Good!

The biggest thing that I want to add is a version comparison that shows an "Upgrade" link when an update is available. FYI, the PluginManager has been updated and can be downloaded here:

Several of the examples I saw seemed to rely on Reactor & Coldspring. From what I can tell ColdBox is very powerful -- In fact, it was too much for me. CFWheels has been a great fit and I've been able to get down the MVC learning curve more easily. Thanks for your clarification on ColdBox! It’s probably just my ignorance of ColdBox showing up.

From what I can tell ColdBox is very powerful — In fact, it was too much for me. CFWheels has been a great fit and I’ve been able to get down the MVC learning curve more easily.

Thanks for your clarification on ColdBox!

I've been using ColdBox for the last couple of years and haven't done a single thing with Reactor or Transfer. Also, you COULD use ColdSpring but you don't have to (specially with the built-in IOC, AOP, and remote proxying capabilities built in to ColdBox). I could understand that if ORM is one of your requirements why you made that statement (and why you chose CFWheels since it has ORM built in). But not everyone wants or needs ORM. Of course, I'm happy for you that CFWheels is working out for you. But that statement about ColdBox was very misleading, IMHO.

But of coarse life got in the way and that task is still on my to do list. I'm glad that someone else has picked up the baton and is running with it. Great job and keep the posts coming. Clarke,

I tried your suggestion, and it didn't work for me -- Probably because I am using the development version of ColdFusion and URL rewriting isn't turned on! I think the link I suggested is the safest one, but I'm sure there are other possiblities.

I liked it, but seems that I ran into some problems getting it to work with our server configuration. It also seemed that the project's development had stalled. Maybe the later parts of the documentation were a little incomplete. If you find that it's working for you, I'll give it another shot. I like Ruby on Rails and have been working with it a little recently. Good luck. Sam Singer Clark,

I will definitely link this from the Community page on cfwheels.org. There are some things we do differently, but that's mainly because we're much newer (and smaller) than Rails. As a result, we've had to prioritize what to work on, which mainly has been a framework that does 80% of what you want to do, with good performance. I'm not sure that the Plugin Manager is broken for _everyone_ as we haven't really heard any complaints about it. Can you give us more specifics about your environment on the list? CFML engine? Wheels version? Web server? Awesome. I will definitely link this from the Community page on cfwheels.org.
