It's getting a lot of press among a small group of developers. I
stumbled upon a blurb in a magazine, and when I read the phrase
"without Postback" it got my full attention. I just read a blog post
today by Scott Guthrie (ScottGu to the faithful -
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/default.aspx) who is the Team Lead for
IIS, ASP.NET, and a few other products. He was basically saying that
MVC would only appeal to about 5% of the ASP.NET developers, but I
must say I am firmly in that minority.
I'm really pleased with the structure they have created. A new MVC
project automatically creates Model, View, and Controller folders, as
well as a sample controller, view, and Routing information. BTW, the
Routing stuff is way cool and will work outside MVC once it is
completely implemented. Some of the structure is enforced by naming
convention, which does not appeal to everyone. For me, it just sets
up simple rules that are very easy to follow. Also, as part of MVC,
are HTML "Helper" methods that make some of the manual coding a little
easier. Most of these also accept Lambda expressions
(

which can provide some cool assistance.
All in all, I think they are going to have a fantastic product.
