I’m still learning ASP.NET MVC and gearing up for 2 projects. At first glance of a typical View, I had a classic ASP flashback. Now that I understand how it really works, I see that the only commonality is the use of the ASP delimiter tags (<%%>).

I’m not real crazy with the default ASP.NET MVC view engine and have examined some alternatives, such as MVC Contrib and Spark. A new strategy has emerged however, developed by Eric Hexter. Eric is dubbing his project Opinionated Input Builders. It’s very early stage, but it’s definitely interesting and worth checking out.
