What I still not understand is why he says RoR isn't MVC O:).
Because their "models" are dumb data objects and they shove all the

that depends on the application implementation, does it not? i
haven't yet seen anything that prevents putting the business logic
and 'create_user' code in the ActiveRecord models. care to elaborate?
This is bloody important for building good application architecture
- a cron
script or e-mail gateway should be able to invoke e.g. a create
user function
in the model without ever having to load the web-related code. If your
create user logic is in the controller, you're stuck with either
talking to the
app over HTTP or simulating a request.
this sort of design misstep can be achieved in Catalyst or RoR, so i
suspect there must be something more to your story that i'm not getting.
