I am asking this question on both the Model-Glue and Mach-II lists,
hoping for responses that will make the case for each of the
respective frameworks.

The simple question is... which? And why?

I know their isn't a definite answer, and everything requires
subjective examination, but surely there are some points that can be
made?

To make it easy, I'll give an example project to use as a basis for
the arguments:

A blog system (something like Mango Blog) with the obvious:
-login
-blog posts w/comments
-post categories & tags
etc

Obviously, different size applications have different needs, so I'm
really just looking for a good discussion about why I would want to
use one over the other.

For the example mentioned above, throw in a Flex (or AIR) client that
can pull the blog comments from the database and let the user
administer them, as well as post new blog entries. (Just looking to
add some remote functionality to the mix, for discussion purposes.) I
don't want arguments based purely on the back-end and browser content
delivery aspects, seeing as AJAX / Flex are both important parts of an
implementation these days.

I'm hoping for a robust discussion.

(Does one make using external frameworks like ColdSpring / Transfer
easier? Does one make working with remote requests more simple? Does
one provide faster development? Does one provide better separation?
More flexibility? Is one easier for laying out content? Is there a
strong caching system in one or the other? Does one favor convention?
etc)

Inquiring minds want to know. =)

Thanks!
