Framework Kool-Aid

It was bound to happen again.  I despise Web frameworks with a passion as I hate the over-abstraction; the bloat and the complications with too many libraries that one has to learn.

The last framework I started building was in PHP as Zend, Cake and CodeIgniter were so built-out and I didn't want all their features:

I never had enough time to make anything of it, but I believed strongly in the concepts.  I wanted to build something that made it easy for those unfamiliar with MVC to have a transitional route.  Surf did exactly that.  Perhaps it wasn't run-of-the-mill or well documented but I built many good projects with it.

Well, now I am at it again, except my language of choice is NodeJS (love it).  I am a lifelong Javascript guy - I can do anything with Javascript and it has done great things for me!

Long story short, here is the new framework I am building:

I still have more to do before a Beta release but as I stated earlier, I believe in the concepts and the easiest way to demonstrate concepts is to actually "do them".

Like it, love, hate it, despise it, any comments welcome.
