Brian,

I have VMP2002 and use it a little. Not as much as I plan on as I have some other very pressing matters. I decided to use this particular framework, not at all because the other were in any way bad or inferior. Rather because, after doing some research I came to the conclusion that it best "fit" my programming style.

My suggestion to you would be to do the same. Do your research and then make enough of a committment to at least give the chosen framework a try. You may well end up owning more than one as I do but IMO no way is that a bad thing. Personally, if I had the time I'd buy all of them and learn them just to get myself a real hands-on education.

IAC I highly recommend that everyone adopt a framework of some sorts and, of course in my case I would recommend VMP2002. IMO not using any framework is not as good as using some framework - as it causes one to discipline their development practices.

What I want to avoid is having to learn the framework using views, then relearning it using SPT. So it would be nice to have the examples of n-tier using SPT too... (then again, we can't have everything, can we?) ...now that I think more about this, I should probably take the time to learn both, since a less complex project could always come along...
