MVC Impressions?

[CarlitoBrigante]

I know that leaving aside the few great docs made by Edwin in his blog, most of the discussion about vB4 custom development seems limited to small-sized modifications or minor changes to how we used to develop products for vB3. I see that a lot of vB projects being rewritten are mostly being "fixed" in the parts that need fixing since they have changed completely in the new vBulletin - like the template system.

Anyhow, I have not seen much discussion about the MVC structure on which the new vB CMS is built. I see that also the vB Blog will eventually be fully ported onto it, so I was wondering what is the approach of coders developing large sized products now that vB4 came out.

Are you already taking advantage of the new system? Or are you simply "porting" your old apps to the new system with as little changes as possible?

Personally, I do love the new CMS. I have worked in the past with many frameworks, mostly Zend and CodeIgniter, and loved both of them, and eventually used CodeIgniter mixed with some of the Zend features. The vB4 CMS seems solid enough, but it is a bit daunting working on it without a detailed developer documentation that can compare to those for CI and Zend.

Thanks.
