Kevin,

I think you are missing the whole framework idea. You cannot just walk into a new company with a whole new application that was written with a framework and just work like you always have. You need to read all of the VMP documentation and work through the tutorials that came with it if you want to reap the benefits. You are going to have weeks of learning to do before you can be productive at all. Once you have done this, then you can produce applications and add new features at an unbelievable pace. I am currently working learning C# and dotnet. It takes me 10 times longer to do anything than I would be able to the same thing with Maxframe.

You just have to give it some time to see why things are as they are. If you don't like certain features, you can always override them in your base classes and have it your way.
