Converting from ColdFusion Fusebox 5.5 noxml

Question

I have a large Adobe ColdFusion 9 site that uses the no XML version of Fusebox 5.5. The site does not currently use CFCs in the model. The choices have been narrowed down to either CFWheels, Coldbox, or FW/1. My question is, which of those three would be faster and easier to convert to when moving from a Fusebox no XML site?

Thank you

Ease of conversion is the wrong question. Conversion is a one-time event.

Maintenance is an on-going situation, and is a far more important factor to base your decision on.

Investigate your shortlist - they all come with sample applications - and determine which one you'd rather work with going forward, then do what it takes to convert - none of the three should be especially difficult.

^{(Though I've only dabbled with cfWheels and ColdBox, so can't guarantee there isn't some hidden gotchas that make them more complicated to convert, but again if they're easier for your team to work with, that's more important.)}
