>>Experience taught many of us to stay away from view macro engines, regardless of the product it's attached to. Does anybody really use that stuff?<<
Sure they do.
IMHO the rhetoric against Views is similar to the rhetoric against VFP.
Views work extremely well in all sorts of environments, including very large scale sites, as long as you know their foibles.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
