After spending so much time on SharePoint, it’s so refreshing to head back over to super productive (and incredibly enjoyable) frameworks like MVC.  We’re using MVC 4 at the new gig, and this is going to provide highly effective. 

The user community (made even easer with NuGet) for MVC is fantastic.  We’re using the typical approach (from bottom up) of an ORM (EF in this case) hidden behind a generic IRepository contract, business/service layer exposing behind simple contracts, base implementations to get us 80% there OOTB (and prevent redundancy of course), Ninject with it’s awesome IDependencyResolver goodness for MVC for Inversion of Control, and a nice clean Test story, taking advantage of MOQ.

Soooo refreshing!!
