I certianly agree, and that's really no different that MG's results. But in MG you can ONLY announce results, you can't announce arbitrary events like in M2. Theorectically, you could write an entire app in listeners (which would be very wrong), but it is totally possible. I believe you could write an entire app in MG's controllers as well -- couldn't you? Oh, absolutely. I'm not discounting that fact. I happen to prefer Fusebox (FB3, actually) over both MG and M2 for the conceptual separation. OO is your backend, procedural is your UI. I think the distinction between controllers and model is a little clearer in MG, but that's a really fine hair to split. > Still I don't see your point... The web flows in a procedural way. It's just a byproduct of HTTP, and no real way around it. One could argue for Flash or JS Remoting, but I'll quietly disregard that objection. ;) Your controller should match that, in my view. Your application, however, is an abstract set of business operations, and should reflect that. That necessitates a fundementally different approach to building the two pieces. I've had this discussion (argument ;) with several people, both publicly and privately over the past year or so. I'm convinced that one or more of these three things are true: 1) my mind works in a completely unique way 2) my mind is feeble enough to enjoy (require?) resting upon this conceptual crutch that no one else needs 3) I'm utterly unable to communicate clearly what seems to be to be a simple point, but obviously isn't I'm hoping it's not the second one. ;) cheers, barneyb -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
