With views, the main thing to keep in mind is directory organization. Respectfully, I have a few differing ideas, than Steven, when it comes to views. But at Cairngorm's current iteration, "all" state == model (local and common). Organize the actual view classes in functional directory groups; for easy identification. In the ModelLocator, bind the state of the views accordingly. With hundreds of views, you will probably want to subclass the ModelLocator, into functional groups, to aid in organization. Ultimately, it boils down to each application's requirements. For me, I just try to keep things as simple and maintainable as possible; even when endless local state variables tend to clutter and complicate the ModelLocator. I'm calling this model happy. :)
