I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I don't actively use MG, but I've looked pretty close at it, and its a very nice MVC framework. The new code gen features he has added seem to be more of a response to the utilisation of XML than anything else. That and the autowiring of controllers from ColdSpring is pretty much how I would run with any MVC framework, Mii, ColdBox, MG, whatever, as it simplifies the passing around of dependencies, and actually abstracts away the implementation of ColdSpring from your Controller code. I don't see Joe doing anything majorly different from, and considering how popular MG is, I don't think many other people share your opinion. (Although I could be wrong). > I'm not convinced that framework ontop of CF is the complete answer, i > think there needs more smarts placed in tooling to compliment CFML. While I agree that there is a CF tool problem (insert stupid joke about the CFML community here ;o) ), I don't see it as one or the other - if/when the tools come about, then I would expect that the frameworks would also leverage those tools, and you would end up in a very nice place with both high end frameworks and tools that complement them. I guess it's a bit more of a chicken and egg problem. In the MS world, the tooling came first. In the CFML world, the frameworks came first. I think we'll find they will both reach the same conclusion in the end, just from different directions. But I do see your point about tooling in CF, Adobe have already stated that they know it is a problem. Whether or not it will be solved... who knows?
