In my opinion - overkill is indeed the right word to describe parsley in most cases. While I respect complexity and clockwork architecture, I can really appreciate straight forward framework like RobotLegs which reduces the complexity in my projects. My projects are fairly complex and large scale, this is why RL was a treat, since I didn't need to double (or triple) the complexity. I'm not looking for extensive feature-set that I'll rarely get to, I'd rather have 80% which covers most cases in an easy straight-forward way. And while you argue the parsley is close to perfection, indeed try it out and see for your self, while having a project to execute, will you prefer a robust tool or a minimalist one. In my opinion, you are bound to go astray while you go into a new territory, that's why a community is essential to support and grow according to real needs that are communicated within a live community, rather then browsing through ghost-posts hoping it will stick. RL approach to modules in particular was a relief after trying out plumbing with pureMVC pipes... simple, painless, and works like a charm. good luck with it, any turn you take. cheers Ajar
