And you are correct, comparing cars to frameworks doesn't really work but if it did and cars were frameworks and I had the following goals
To buy a car It has to be yellow It has to go fast And all I have in front of me is a Racing Green Mini Cooper S and an Enzo (in traditional yellow) then my choice is made for me. So, maybe what I and possibly others need to be looking for, or explaned are a map of features v requests pitted against frameworks to help? If after all that we have a two horse race then yes it's down to preferrence.

Why *can't* it be personal preference? It's not an "open playing field" and we don't all know the same stuff. I just recently got into fusebox and chose it because i didn't have any prior experience with frameworks and figured it would likely be the easiest for me to learn. Next I'm leaning towards Coldbox because I've heard that it's got ridiculous amounts of documentation available which again... would make it easier for me to learn. But I don't for a second believe that one is "just better" than any other. If that were the case, the others wouldn't exist. Yes, a Lexus is "better" than a Yugo. But a Lexus also costs more than a Yugo. Comparing cars to frameworks in this context doesn't really work. I really think the reason you're having a problem getting the answer that you're looking for is because you're discounting the only right answer which is... "it depends" / "personal preference" :) -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
