Hi Nick,
I agree with the comment that (usually) the more powerful a framework is the more it limits you, but perhaps I agree only because our first experience was with Visual Extend which we found to be very limiting and forced approaches on us that we did not like at all. This is not true with MaxFrame, which we now use. Either I think just the way the developers of that framework do (not as fast or as deeply, however) or there are very few limits imposed by it, because we have never found ourselves frustrated by having to do something the MaxFrame way. To us, that translates into "no limits".
Nor do I think I would accept the argument that MaxFrame is therefore less powerful than Extend-- MaxFrame is all around a better product so far as we are concerned.
