Also, I have definite plans for Ajax in my application, so what ramifications
do the various frameworks have on this? Do they preclude the use of cfajax?
And finally, as I chose a framework and huncker down to learn it, do you have
any recommended reading/tutorials/etc to help me get a firm grasp on
everything? For example, I'm fairly competent with cfml, but I've never written
a cfc before. I know frameworks use cfcs, so should I be studying everything
about those first?
Thanks for any wisdom...

Yes, I reccomend learning more about CFC's as a pre-requisite to learning a
framework. Frankly, if you can't do CFC's you have bigger issues than
worrying about which framework to use. CFC's are really a kind of framework
themselves, btw. Of course, what youo are aftr is something less granular
than CFC's - as I say, mach-ii is the best of the limited options available
for cfml.

For frameworks, its good to go with the one that is best for the job at hand
and the style of programming accepted by others on your team.
so sticking to just one needs to be a team decision, not an individual.
Another component to check out is coldspring. It is an excellent tool!
Hope this Helps,

If you're not familiar with objects, go with fusebox, perhaps it doesn't even
require you to use them. I personally like Model-Glue the best, but again, that
is a bias personal opinion. I would suggest you try them as which one feels
better.
Regardless of your decision, if you are to get into heavy OOP, I would advice
to adopt ColdSpring.
HTH.
You might also have a look at CFWheels (http://cfwheels.com/). It
chooses convention over configuration a la RubyOnRails. If you don't
like "XML situps," you might like CFWheels.
