I have been using Maria on my production App for many months and it has made life easier. It is simple, tight and well written.

I use controllers to implement the strategy to be applied to user events, and this keeps my code focused (SRP/DRY).

I think removing the controller is a bad choice as it would require the view to know too much, and besides having the controller in the mix is made easy by Maria. Any time I have diverged from using the Controller the code started to deteriorate with views having to handle increasing responsibility.

Yes - MVC is part of a larger set of patterns and the thing I like most about Maria is that it focuses on being just MVC. Now I'm free to look for implementations of other patterns as I need them. Hopefully from Peter as well, as he really understands a pattern before he implements it.

Have you used other MVC frameworks like Backbone (MVVC), Ember, or Angular? How does Maria compare?
