In the same vein (not to be disrespectful) but the form helpers help you make forms. :) now if you are picky about how you want your forms to look you probably won't want to use them. But I think that goes with all helpers. In the old HtmlHelper did all the stuff and formsHelper was a waste of bits. I used the html helper as a kind of base class and built on it for MyHtmlHelper and I will probably do the same thing as I get more picky about the output in the "brave new world" of 1.2 (I'm a bit of an engineer so it is possible that might never happen, I'm more concerned about the pig then the lipstick ;) But I have to say that the best way to try to get a change implemented is tickets with patches. In my way of looking at it the thing that I will probably want to override the most is the wrapper function that kind of makes it all look so clean in the code and so pretty in the result, at least when my css/designer god (his name is Lance and you can't have him) is done with it. I look at the helpers like I do the scaffold and bake results. Great place to start but probably going to need some tuning before production.
