Joe has posted a nice diagram that shows how the pieces of a Model-Glue application relate to the pieces of a Cairngorm application. As someone trying to learn Cairngorm, this is pretty useful. To be honest, from a noob perspective, Cairngrom seems to have a lot of layers and a lot of code, and I was unsure of what the actual point to these layers are. This diagram helped clear up some of the confusion.

I hear you there Brian.
I also feel like it is a lot of code and a lot of layers to manage. I try to keep remembering I felt the same about MachII and ModelGlue before I finally 'got it'.
That ModelGlue:Flex POC was pretty hot though.......

I understand Cairngorm (it took a while) but I still don't like it. It requires a lot of boilerplate code that leads to a lot of copy'n'paste or the use of code generators - neither of which I like as a development process.
I think Joe's on the right track with Model-Glue: Flex. I haven't looked at PureMVC in detail yet but I plan to.
I was hoping Joe's post would be comparing Model-Glue: Flex with Cairngorm instead :)
