I may be biased *s*, but I would recommend VMP to anyone coming directly from FPW. The reason being is that it is a hybrid of OOP and traditional procedural methods. I believe this makes the learning curve easier for those migrating.

It was initially designed in FPW 2.6 and has evolved steadily since adding OOP concepts and techniques where it was deemed appropriate. It was not added for the sake of making it OOP.

Alex is right in that 1 and 2-tier application developement is where VMP has its strengths. You can do n-tier developement using VMP but the abstraction has not been done yet for the stateless nature needed for this (in most cases) and you would have to create your own classes/subclasses to accomodate this.
