>For one, Kevin was and is very accessible. At the time I made the decision, MM.NET provided localization and security features which was a requirement for a customer I was working for at time and I didn't find any other framework that did those things. As most of my work is asp.net, I appreciated the asp.net features that MM.NET supported. Data binding web forms was simplified (in part, thanks to Rick's contributions to MM.NET). And now, MM.NET saves a lot of coding by generating the business objects from your existing database tables. Of course, there are other products that do these things now.
