I see this debate come round now and again. I can see the perspective of view-driven development proponents, but I've always thought that the models are your, well, model of your problem domain, and that you need to understand that before you can create a consistent interface. Maybe this is because most of the work we do here is finance-related, and untangling the web of business relationships and deals and terms is a nightmare and not something you want to keep re-doing. Perhaps the advice to start with views applies more to sites where the view *is* the behaviour (eg a blog) rather where the view is more of a presentation layer?
