Hi, I would say yes and no. I told you that we port an existing project to cake. Therfore, there truely is something to do concerning MVC. But there are some objects used in the code, which are good and shouldn't be replaced. Think of objects that do actions or hold data. They do not have any database-access etc. Actually they wrap downer code to make things more readable and easier to understand in the components and controllers.
These objects are in their own herachie and depend on the actual implementation and soon depend on at least the cake-models. They are compareable to components, but one should not implement them as ones. In my implementation I play with these objects in controllers and components. This produces very sweet code, I think ;-) I think the app/vendor dir is quite suitable, but what I think is wrong with vendors is, that these objects and classes are absolutley project-related (at least the upper, precise ones). They depend on the intended usage. What about these? still vendosr? I would place them in some sort of app/lib dir.
