Okay, humor me on this one. But this is something I need to understand; why?
Here's my logic: the whole purpose of the MVC pattern is to separate out the pieces of code, specifically the presentation logic (view), from the business logic (controller). However, Zend_Form and its decorators seem to have taken a step back in this, putting presentation logic (decorators) right smack in the middle of business logic (form processing). I have to ask, why? Does this make sense? If so, can you please explain to me as to why? I can understand Zend_Form for easy form processing, but quite frankly, I rather have a Zend_Form that works for processing, validation and an easily method of retrieving the errors, instead of an all-in-one: display, processing, validation, error display. Maybe I just don't get decorators? To me, decorators put presentation logic smack in the middle of business logic. A step explicitly unfavorable within the MVC pattern.
