Ah, the Foundy, not Luxology.

When I first saw MeshFusion about 2 years ago my first thought was given enough time, it looked like it had the potential to make the whole nurbs vs polys issues go away.

I guess in some ways, to some people, Mesh Fusion very well could be that "holy grail". The link between CAD modeling technology and polygonal based topology. Personally, I really don't see it quite that way yet. I guess if you were someone whose sole purpose was designing models that meet some form of standardized manufacturability and needed to optimize your time-to-market turnover, then something like Mesh Fusion could work very well, especially if your background was traditional modeling to begin with. If all you ever need from your models are machine-perfect chamfers, precision corners and perfectly fitted parts for fabrication, then Mesh Fusion can be that solution I suppose. However, for the kind of work I do, which can include making models for everything from additive manufacturing to pipeline animation rendering, there's still a lot to be desired from that kind of dense polygonal output.
