One of the things I like about ASP.NET MVC is there has been a lot of community involvement from the start. In fact the highly regarded Spark view engine, which I am surprised Scott did not mention by name, originated from a guy in the community, Lou Dejardin. (He now works on the team at Microsoft).

Halfway off topic, regarding a recent discussion about online training resources, PluralSight was recommended, as always, and I said TekPub is another that should be considered. At least as far as ASP.NET MVC, TekPub's content is superior.
