| Well, the framework won't help non-OO people become more familiar with the concepts. But all of the frameworks for MX depend on some level of OO, don't they?

Yes, I do like the 'initial' aspect of MG, but no one on our little team has any experience with it plus I am concerned about the OO skill level on the team. Would using an OO framework like MG make up for lack of OO skills? But that would be using a framework as a crutch, which I detest.

Mach-ii just never clicked for me. I tried it for a week before
throwing my hands up and moving to Model-Glue. Within a day the M-G
style of coding was really sinking in, within a week it was like I'd
never done anything differently. From an ease of use perspective I
think M-G makes a heck of a lot more sense and is easier to get up
and running ASAP. Of course, YMMV.
Given MCG's situation, I'd stick with something that she can get up
to speed on quickly which, in my mind, is M-G. Besides, it has two
of the three letters in her initials.
MCG -> M-G ;-)
