I tried to start a new project using the latest ASP.NET MVC framework update and it didn’t go so well.  I ran into three issues that caused me to go back to the standard ASP.NET stack.

I was trying to redirect from an action on one controller to an action on another controller.  RedirectToRoute wasn’t working for me instead of being redirected the current action just kept being reloaded.  This really irritated me because either this is a bug in the framework or I was being tripped up by a misunderstanding of how asp.net mvc works. 

When I went to the official asp.net mvc forum to see if I could find any documentation on this I found several people complaining about things that worked in preview release 3 that don’t work in release 4. This tells me the framework fundamentals are more in flux than I would feel comfortable dealing with at this time.

In trying to dig up documentation on the asp.net mvc framework there was no central repository of information. I really wish they would centralize the existing documentation and update it with each release.
