I'm always open to using new frameworks, especially if they allow greater flexibility when the need arises to make changes and additions. At the same time I don't want to add an additional layer of complexity unless it's use is warranted. Has anyone used the asaplibrary recently on a project? Was it useful? Would you use it again? ...
