I have been playing arround with the MVC but i dont see any diference between using Mediators-Proxys-etc... over coding a simple MVC structure by my own... using Views, controllers and models...

so why using the framework?

A good reason is to use a standard framework that any of your colleague working on the same project will understand immediately. To be honest, regarding my own usage, this reason was even more important than using MVC itself. It gives the good tool to start the right communication between coders. Here, as a bonus, with PureMVC we can even communicate over multiple languages.

Another reason to use PureMVC more than your own implementation is because it is widely recognized as a good implementation for everyday use and because it has many tools dedicated in many languages. In one word, it will help you to code faster.

also it is very light weight, and there is nothing in there that does not need to be, it has also been created with extensibility in mind.
if you write your own one, more than likely it will be squewed by the project for which it was written. And will always need to be adjusted, refactored for each new project that comes up.

also, the work is already done why do it again, especially when you have such a community around it to kick ideas around in...

PureMVC is rock solid, production tested, has many utilities/demos/extensions, is fully unit tested, follows best practices, is true to the patterns it implements, and works really well over all.

That is why I use it.
