I'm planning on using one of the MVC frameworks (probably MG, but I'll look at Mach ii and OO Fusebox again as well) for a seperate project that can be built from the ground up. This project has enough quirks (like an existing url rewriter scheme) that I'd prefer not to try and shoehorn in a whole framework.
I agree though that having a framework that you make yourself use will certainly aid in getting it "down". As for the getters/setters, I just read a posting and comments discussion on Brian Kotek's blog that helps clarify the getter/setter argument and I think I'll go ahead and do the extra work for getters/setters.
