Honestly, I didn't have a choice in the matter... If I did I probably would have chosen a different framework. I was directed to use it... At this point I will say that I have become accustomed to using it now... And enjoy many of it's great features... My sole point is that I don't really see the point in the changes to how views are rendered... And I am bummed that in order to upgrade I will have to rewrite a significant part of what I have been working on since .6 release when I read on multiple occasions that no new features would be introduced in 1.0 after around .9 release.

Then again you could point the finger at Zend for releasing ZF before 1.0, but that's hardly fair. Anyone else wanna play the blame game? Shaun
