I have to disagree on that one Robin :) I personally think Adobe
pushed cairngorm because it was the only available framework at the
time, and it died because it's over complicated and doesn't really
play to Flex's strengths. Frameworks like Mate etc that use an event
bus and cater for use of modules etc are much more appropriate, and
require less development effort.
While I believe that the prejudice against cairngorm is correct :) I
think some of it also came from the fact that a lot of people started
looked at cairngorm and started building flex apps as if they were
J2EE apps. I'm working on one now for example that was built
incredibly inflexibly with enormous amounts of inheritance and J2EE
style architecture when it's both completely unnecessary and actually
detrimental to the ongoing development of the application.
Of course it all comes down to personal preference, but I loathe
cairngorm because it takes too much work to get anything happening,
and lends itself to very bad architecture. These are of course my own
heavily opinionated views ;)

Fair call but the manufacturer of a rivet gun should give the user

rivet gun guidelines on how best to use the rivet gun true?
Sure, but I see Livedocs as the CF analog to those guidelines - tags/
functions = rivets
Adobe should be saying things like
Can I add Cairngorm to Sean's list of frameworks promoted (gently)
by Adobe that got a very
poor reception from the community - people really seem to resent
Adobe handing out
development guidelines for some reason - see

And my response (among others) in the comments.
