ASP.Net MVC framework

This thread seems like an appropriate place to mention the MSDN Patterns & Practices site:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/practices/default.aspx

Lots of good information on there.
There are a few links about Web Presentation Patterns within the mini-site too.

MVC, Page Controller and Front Controller are all mentioned.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998516.aspx

Also, have a look at the blog regarding Web design patterns, the PDF file linked about SOFEA (Service Oriented Front End Architecture) is a good read.

While I really like the MVC pattern, I don't see yet what this adds that you couldn't code yourself in 1.1/2.0?

Yeah, I don't see why they bother putting a grid control in either, after all you could just code your own with a few input boxes, lines etc.

It's just another development tool to make lives easier, yes you could code it yourself but why bother if they've done it for you?
Hell, you could code your own class library from scratch rather than using the .NET framework if you really wanted to.

right, anyway...

What I intended to ask was there someone who's had more experience/time than me had spotted something that I might have missed when reading the article.

I already have a number of MVC "templates" that I use when creating this kind of stuff, and I'm wondering if this new project type offers significant benefit over using these. If this was more like the differences between the web application project and the Website project (a difference I don't believe you can code without getting into the VS IDE/project code). Or is it simply something more like the Web Service Factories?
