That may be true (the opposite for me actually), but what Kevin said
was correct. Fusebox is easy to learn with the documentation on the
site and sample apps.

Also, as I've seen several Fusebox sites over the years, all of them
have different standards. I don't think I've ever seen ANY sites that
follow the docs to the letter. :)
