What are the best MVC web frameworks on the market? [closed]

Answer 1

If we're talking "Best" I'm throwing in Sinatra for Ruby and Nancy for .Net. Based 100% on my subjective opinion and personal preferences. They are my best based on their ease of use and "happiness factor".

Answer 2

Why haven't anyone talked about turbogears, web.py and pylons?

Answer 3

If you are curious about Seaside (mentioned by yinkei), visit Randal Schwartz's Methods and Messages. You can start by watching his quick elevator pitch.

Seaside creator Avi Bryant's interview is also a good read/watch.

Working with Seaside was amazing for me, almost like coding a desktop app.

Visit Dabble DB and Cmsbox for real life apps built on Seaside.

Answer 4

I have been using Wicket for about a year and it is fantastic. It's java based, supports unit tests, and uses a very flexible templating system for display.

Answer 5

Another alternative would be SproutCore, which is entirely client-side. The project is still in its infancy, however.

Answer 6

No-one seems to have mentioned Perl, and the Catalyst framework available for it. It ticks all the boxes in your requirement list.
