I agree completely with you, the possibilities of controller and
ControllerFactory will always be useful.
Parameters are simplifying the controller, removing some Java
boilerplate by improving FXML.
I hope personnally some simple controllers will become empty
(particularly for small includes), with their job taken by declarative
and toolable code (like parameters and the more complex idea of SCXML),
but this is only a personal hope from an XML man (or an XML heavy
elephant). In current state of tools, this is not an hope for tomorrow,
for many controllers (given Scene Builder does not have even a public beta).
