There's been some buzz lately about this new Flex framework called Mate.
But I already have a framework, you say. Why would I want to bother with a new one?
Well, I hear you, we're pretty settled in with PureMVC and happy with it. But Mate is still different enough to warrant checking out.
It's tag based so you create all your files in MXML. Basically all you need to create is an Event Map MXML file, dispatch an event, and add handlers in the Event Map to tell the app what you want it to do when that event is dispatched. Once you include the event map in your Application.mxml you're good to go.
Good documentation and examples too. Overall, it seems fairly simple and straightforward, definitely one to keep an eye on.

In the beginning I was skeptic as well, but Mate is worth a try! Learned to love it.
