Come on, chin up! I don't think MVC is overkill for any site. It really improves development speed and allows you to re-use code *much* more easily. I have to look after a lot of old-style sites, and it is *painful*.
In fact, if anything, there's *less* cruft with them. No need for the old `($conn = mysql_connect()) OR die();` rubbish.
Personally, I use Kohana. It's based on CodeIgniter, but requires PHP5 and is generally tidier.
There are some woeful comments on here. Use your right foot to balance at a junction? Wrong. Keep your right foot on the brake, illuminating the brake light so people don't crash into the back of you thinking you're moving. Also, when people pass you on the right you won't get your foot crushed. You leave it in 1st gear so you don't need a foot on the gears for a "quick getaway".
Sheesh!
..is whether these cross-platform apps run natively on all the systems - I've only seen Qt apps running under Mac OS X using X11 - less than ideal considering most users don't even know what X11 is, let alone how to install it.
Granted, it's very simple to install, but it's extra effort on their part that some people just aren't interested in. A hell of a lot of Mac users want to just grab an app, drop it in /Applications, and it Just Work (tm).
