Reasons not to use MVC architecture for web application

Question

In the past I have primarily built all my web applications using an N-tier architecture, implementing the BLL and DAL layers. Recently, I have started doing some RoR development

Answer 1

Life above the service tier suggests you should use the MVC pattern in a way that adheres to the SOFEA principles, and watch out for "Front controller" type frameworks disguising behind the MVC acronym. (or, you can still use them, but at least read the article, understand the differences and choose wisely).
