As a start... This isn't Model-Glue specific, but applies to any framework (MG/ColdBox/FuseBox/Mach-ii/etc):
For the most part, I try to push developing with a consistent standard. Not just a standard within the company, but a standard in the community. If you aren't using a framework (or a community-supported/driven framework), when you bring in a new employee or contractor, you generally figure it's going to take them a week (give or take) to get up to speed with how your applications are architected. If you're using Model-Glue, and you bring in somebody who knows Model-Glue (or really any other front controller framework), that ramp-up time will be significantly reduced. Again, not specific to Model-Glue, but MVC in general: The fact that it leads you in a direction of clearly separating out your business logic and views means that each piece of business logic is more reusable. Write once run anywhere (hey that's catchy... can we trademark it?). I've worked in so many places that had so many methods in the business layer repeated because different apps (or different parts of the same app) needed it. Since this is a Model-Glue mailing list, and the question did ask about advantages specific to Model-Glue... I'll throw out there that the team behind Model-Glue is significantly more studly than those behind other frameworks.
