I've worked with the Yii[1] framework for php. This "view first"
approach seems to me like the Widgets[2] of the Yii. The widget keeps
the logic of the view.
The Yii uses a Rails like MVC with a better template using this widgets.

My point is: we should not try to build one big framework. Instead, I propose that we build a set of smaller libraries that each do one thing very well. Some of these libraries might be designed to work together.
I absolutely agree with that.
I personally think MVC is a perfect fit for the web: model code handles data storage, view code handles HTML/JSON/XML and the controller coordinates between these.
Have you read about the "View First" approach of Lift[1]? While I do not like the monolithic approach of Lift, I really like that specific aspect. I'd not narrow my view on "Rails-Style MVC" right now.
Cheers, Simon
