I guess I can skip it as performance is one of my bigger issues! I very much enjoy the robotlegs architecture, and while I do not fully understand how the DI works under the hood it's dead easy to implement. Since portability is kind of a minor issue for me, I tend to prefer robotlegs over PureMVC because it utilizes the event API fully. That being said, I think you should select a framework based on your needs AND those of your fellow developers, not just the cool factor. It just happens to be that native event handling and DI solves many problems I deal with daily, without complicating it too much for me or my collegues.

I used MATE in a very big project and it was terrible. Aground the unclear MXML-Event-Maps I've lost track of instances and data-flow. Any developer used a own structure. And endless data-binding need a lot of time after application-launch. Event-Maps in MATE are display-objects: A bad way!!! I think PureMVC is a very clear way to implement big flex-projects. Use PureMVC, drink Mate!
