As long as CAB is still doing the job, I don't see the reason for changing it. After all, we are trying to provide business value.

CAB/SCSF are already both stable and well done guidance frameworks and no doubt they will still be useful long after the fanfare dies down. Besides, it is open source, and as you point out, the real value lies in learning the patterns and not just learning the framework. Thanks alot for all the great examples you have posted thus far, some of your posts really helped boost my understanding when I was just starting out. Good post Chris, you are spot on..

I too am the only developer that has invested in CAB at our workplace. I chose it primarily for a clean way of composing multiple application modules and I'd say it's cost me about 2-3 weeks of schedule dedicated to the ramp-up on the infrastructure. I'm finally at a point where I'm working on my business modules almost exclusively and I can say I'm comfortable with CAB/SCSF and portions of EntLib. The additional point I'll make is that I learned a lot about patterns and practices in the last month thanks to you and other experts on the SCSF forum/blogs as well as the CAB/SCSF/EntLib source code, documentation and examples. Based upon what little I've seen from Acropolis, I doubt if my development skills would benefit the same way. I agree with sklett’s point about CAB’s strength is in the sense of community behind it.

I kind of agree with the above poster. I don't see CAB making it in the long haul. I'm glad it's here now, as it's solved lots of problems for me, and I plan on continuing to use it, but it's already two years old and is a dead end technology. I have already found things in CAB that bug the hell out of me, but overall it fits right now. I don't think the adoption rate is going to increase any time soon. If P&P gave up on it's development, I think we eventually will as well. Thanks again for a good article! -Savij www.savij.com P.S. the above blog has some good CAB articles and fixes - Enjoy! Chris,
