I would like to see a more in-depth look at this framework. I’ve tried using it on a couple of sites and honestly, I don’t get it. To me a good framework should cleanly separate logical layers (data, business logic, presentation, etc.) But Genesis just appears to be a bunch of actions that you hook into with a mess of echo statements and open/close php tags.
But that said, I know some smart people who use it and swear by it, and have seen some really well performing sites built with it.
