I don't have a complaint against Padrino. I'm not out to replace it or anything, I've just been having a good time writing apps this way.

If Padrino encourages not developing plugins, then yes, that would be a big difference.

By Sinatra plugins, I'm guessing you're talking about extensions (http://www.sinatrarb.com/extensions-wild.html)? If so, how are they not compatible with Vesper?
