Keeping in mind that the most widely attractive framework might not be the best fit, probably FW/1 or maybe ColdBox or CFWheels. People seem hyped for 'em.
And they're swell! They do their jobs well. Personally, I like the whole XML deal MG has. I don't leverage it right, at all, but it is a powerful concept (and one that I think is especially suited to framework use). I've already promised some actionpacks for MG, so that's going to happen regardless, but back when I first started with MG "actionpacks", I realized that it would be really easy to not tie anyone into MG itself. There's just a MG specific XML file for when you plug into MG. I use ColdSpring for configuring most things, and they can all leverage that, so that part's cool (unless someone wants to use LightWire- oh noes, it never ends! ;]). Personally I think it would be nothing but good to support as many frameworks as we possibly can. Replete with examples and docs and whatnot. That would be worth more than the sum of the parts, if that makes sense. A problem I have, is that I see everything relating. And thus I see ways of working smarter, vs. harder, *everywhere*. I almost have a compulsion to take the waste from one process and turn it into the food for another. The problem is, "everywhere" is a large area to cover. Well, /one/ of the problems with seeing /anything/ *everywhere*, obviously. :) I think most of what I see is evolution, so I'm not too worried- if I don't do it, someone will. :) Eventually. :Den -- There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.
