via Jason Bock ... The Fifth Element of the Agile Manifesto

I'm reading some good blog posts by Michael Hanney on using ASP.NET MVC, NHibernate, Castle ActiveRecord and Rhino Tools (part 1, part 2, part 3). 

In the first part Michael mentions the reason why he chose ASP.NET MVC over MonoRail.  He references Ben Scheirman's blog post on the topic of picking a Microsoft(this is the M word) tool, just because it has the M word attached to it not because it's necessarily the best choice.  This is the exact reason why we're picking ASP.NET MVC over MonoRail at my current gig, one of those frameworks comes out of Redmond, the other does not, it was that simple.

This needs to change.
