Yeah, it sounds like you guys clearly made the right move in changing that. I am also neutral about state machines. Some times I run into one and I love it, other times, it just seems terrible. One of the projects at work has a state machine that's like ~2k lines of code. It's a monster, and it's a nightmare to modify. It's also got sub state machines nested in it, so the opportunities for fun are pretty much endless. Personally I'm a fan of the smaller state machines you describe. You still got to deal with synchronizing them, but it just seems easier to grasp for me.
