If an outcome is indeed personal preference then hoorah, but it would seem that from posts that there are benefits attributed to some over others based on experience and with technical merit. Of course preference pays a part same we develop in ColdFusion over .NET etc. Do you think that it is just down to, well I like blue so I am going to choose it? Do you not think that one framework does some things better? I am not looking for one ring to rule them all, neither do I think there is one, but there must be pointers etc for certain areas of functionality and focus?

Why *can't* it be personal preference? It's not an "open playing field" and we don't all know the same stuff. I just recently got into fusebox and chose it because i didn't have any prior experience with frameworks and figured it would likely be the easiest for me to learn. Next I'm leaning towards Coldbox because I've heard that it's got ridiculous amounts of documentation available which again... would make it easier for me to learn. But I don't for a second believe that one is "just better" than any other. If that were the case, the others wouldn't exist. Yes, a Lexus is "better" than a Yugo. But a Lexus also costs more than a Yugo. Comparing cars to frameworks in this context doesn't really work. I really think the reason you're having a problem getting the answer that you're looking for is because you're discounting the only right answer which is... "it depends" / "personal preference" :) -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
