Exactly.

So going back to the original theme. I'd invite you to step back and
see the whole picture. I see asp.net mvc as a quite successful
*blessed* solution from MS. I also see Fubu MVC and possible others
offering different perspectives on this space.

I dont do web development anymore - unfortunately - but I dont think I
would be totally happy with MS' offering or MonoRail.

asp.net MVC:
- has a great end-to-end experience (Fx + VS Integration + templates)
- Framework is quite minimal, which is a good thing
- Not very extensible IMO

MonoRail
- Very extensible
- Has everything + the kitchen sink (bad)
- Bad end-to-end experience

Instead of trying to play the catch up game I'd go for a totally
different route.
First. define the mission and vision. Since the beginning MonoRail was
about productivity. Does this still make sense? What has change in
this space? Are projects simpler or more complex? What about the
cloud?
Second, features should make sense for the vision, and this should be
your bar. Simply dont invest time/energy in whatever deviates from the
mission.
Third, end to end: what makes the tool successful is not only the Fx,
but samples, templates and VS integration. I have quite some
experience with VS, and could certainly help here.


Thoughts?
